Are there human cyclops

Thus he could escape. Like this story, these creatures are mentioned many times in ancient Greco-Roman literature and also at present. In the world of comics Cyclops is a character of the X men saga.

The reason of his name: his ability to emit powerful light through his eyes as they were one. But he has two eyes instead. But, as it was asked before: does Cyclops really exist? Well, believe it or not, the answer is affirmative.

There is a medical condition called Cyclopia, also called synophthalmia, characterized by the presence of one eye in the middle of the head, in the place where the nose would be placed. Cyclopia is a birth defect that hardly ever happens. It is caused by a wrong cellular differentiation during the early embryologic development.

The developed embryo is unviable, so generally finishes in miscarriage. Researchers believe that several factors may raise the risk of cyclopia and other forms of holoprosencephaly. One possible risk factor is gestational diabetes. In the past, there had been speculation that exposure to chemicals or toxins might be to blame. For about one-third of babies with cyclopia or other kind of holoprosencephaly, the cause is identified as an abnormality with their chromosomes.

In particular, holoprosencephaly is more common when there are three copies of chromosome However, other chromosome abnormalities have been identified as possible causes, too.

For some babies with cyclopia, the cause is identified as a change with a particular gene. These changes cause the genes and their proteins to act differently, which affects brain formation. In many cases, though, no cause is found. Cyclopia can sometimes be diagnosed using an ultrasound while the baby is still in the womb. The condition develops between the third and fourth weeks of gestation.

An ultrasound of the fetus after this time can often reveal obvious signs of cyclopia or other forms of holoprosencephaly. In addition to a single eye, abnormal formations of the brain and internal organs may be visible with an ultrasound.

When an ultrasound detects an abnormality, but is unable to present a clear image, a doctor may recommend a fetal MRI. An MRI uses a magnetic field and radio waves to create images of organs, a fetus, and other internal features. Both an ultrasound and MRI pose no risk to the mother or child. A live birth of a baby with cyclopia in Jordan was the subject of a case report presented in The baby died at the hospital five hours after birth. Other studies of live births have found that a newborn with cyclopia usually has only hours to live.

Cyclopia is a sad, but rare occurrence. Researchers believe that if a child develops cyclopia, there might be a greater risk that the parents may carry the genetic trait.

This could raise the risk of the condition forming again during a subsequent pregnancy. However, cyclopia is so rare that this is unlikely. They are naturally fire resistant so they are able to work in very harsh conditions.

Cyclopia is caused by a failure of the developing brain to split into two separate hemispheres. Power, Responsibilities, Skills… Two of their weakness were: Love: since he fell in love with Galatea who rejected him, he was left heartbroken forever. Eyes: Cyclops were easily blinded. Cyclops were known by their strength.

However, since the birth of Hope Summers, Cyclops has become increasingly unstable with his own self. Overprotective of those close to him, amoral in his new, Magneto-like view of humanity, and mentally ambiguous, Cyclops is viewed as an antihero and occasionally even a villain in the minds of his fellow superheroes.

A baby with cyclopia usually has no nose, but a proboscis a nose-like growth sometimes develops above the eye while the baby is in gestation. Cyclopia often results in a miscarriage or stillbirth. Survival after birth is usually a matter of hours only.
