最袖珍女孩僅半米(圖)

Standing 58cm and weighing less than 5kg, Jyoti Amge (see photo), 15, from India, claims to be the world's smallest girl, according to Daily Mail. Doctors believe Jyoti is a pituitary dwarf, which is caused when the body fails to produce enough growth hormone. Despite her size she insists on going to the local school and dreams of becoming an actress. People flock to see the teenager and some even treat her as a goddess.

據英國《每日郵報》報道，世上最袖珍姑娘是來自印度的喬蒂?阿姆格(見圖)，今年15歲，身高58厘米，體重不足5公斤。醫生認為她患有垂體性侏儒癥，是由身體未能分泌足夠的成長激素引起的。盡管如此，她仍堅持上學并夢想成為明星。人們蜂擁而至來看望她，有些人甚至把她當成女神。
