Marlie Casseus
Marlie Mychele Casseus (born July 7, 1992) is a Haitian woman who attracted national and international media attention when she received surgery to remove a 7-kg (18-pound) growth from her face that threatened her ability to eat, hear, breathe and see.
==Background==
Casseus suffers from polyostotic fibrous dysplasia, a genetic condition in which the bone structure is replaced by connective tissue. This condition affects more than one bone in the body, impairs skeletal growth and development, and can cause deformity.〔(Polyostotic fibrous dysplasia definition - Medical Dictionary definitions of popular medical terms easily defined on MedTerms ). MedicineNet.com. Retrieved 11 June 2009.〕 The growth started when she was three years old, and by age 13, had continued to advance until her facial features were completely disfigured.
It blocked her nasal passage and most of her mouth so that she could only breathe and eat through a hole placed in the throat. Always a social impediment and a stigma, the growth eventually prompted her to become completely reclusive to avoid public ridicule. Before surgery, the bone growth had become a 7-kg (18-pound) tumor-like mass that covered almost her entire face. It was threatening her breathing and would have eventually caused blindness if doctors hadn't operated.
