Man with rare condition experiences 'demonic' face distortions
A new study published in The Lancet presents computer-generated images of the facial distortions experienced by a 58-year-old male with prosopometamorphopsia (PMO), a rare condition causing facial features to appear distorted. Unlike most PMO cases, the patient sees distorted faces only in-person, not on screens or paper. The research aims to increase awareness of PMO and its misdiagnosis as psychiatric disorders, highlighting the need for better understanding and support for individuals with this visual perception condition.
