Alien man, giant-head man, elephant man...Xia has had many nicknames during the last years. So what happened to this man that made his head grow this much ?
Xia, for whom you can't guess nor the age nor the ethnicity due to the huge facial deformity, is 53 years old and lives in a remote village in rural China.
Good thing for his mother, He was not born like this. His head started to grow only during his adulthood. You know what this means: it can happen to anyone!
Xia suffers from a condition called Hyperplasia which is an increase in cell proliferation that leads to the gross enlargement of an organ. It may be due to any number of causes, including inflammatory response, hormonal dysfunctions, or compensation for damage or disease elsewhere.
In the case of Xia, it was very gradual and he has never been diagnosed or treated because his family was so poor.
Sadly for him, his condition evolved to such a staggering state that it crushed his teeth and made him lose most of his hearing.
Never too late, his brother decided to tell the world about Xia's story to try to save his life and make him undergo a surgical operation that would ease his pain. Doctors became aware of his case and examined him. The only obstacle that the family is facing now is fundraising the amount of money need for the operation. Hopefully, we will be able soon to see the after-surgery results.
