He couldn’t look at anyone’s face

Not a joke, it’s real! The effects of the head trauma he suffered years ago became apparent 12 years later. He couldn’t look anyone in the face. An extremely rare disease
The man living in the USA suffered a head injury at the age of 43, and his effects showed up with a terrible disease 12 years later. The man, who has been struggling with this terrible and extremely rare disease for 31 months, was unable to look anyone in the face. Because when he looked at someone’s face, he saw a scary face.
The man living in the USA suffered a head injury at the age of 43 , and his effects revealed himself with a terrible disease 12 years later. The man, who has been struggling with this terrible and extremely rare disease for 31 months, was unable to look anyone in the face. Victor Sharrah of Tennessee began seeing monsters everywhere due to an extremely rare condition called “demon face” syndrome, which makes everyone appear to have an evil smile, according to a groundbreaking study published in the journal “The Lancet.” “You can’t imagine how scary it is,” the 59-year-old Clarksville native told NBC News, describing her distorted perception disorder.

HE UNDERSTOOD THAT SOMETHING WAS WRONG

The truck driver reportedly first realized something was wrong in 2020 after spotting a disfigured-looking man in his apartment, who turned out to be his roommate. He then ventured out and noticed that everyone looked crooked. “My first thought was that I woke up in an evil world,” exclaimed Sharrah, who reportedly has perfect vision. He added: “I was literally freaking out at that point. I was going to go commit myself. The Tennessean suffers from prosopometamorphopsia, or PMO, a strange disorder that visually distorts faces whenever looking at a sick person, making them look evil, SWNS reported .

IT MAY LAST FOR YEARS

Opinions vary from person to person (especially in terms of eye shape, size, color, and position of facial features), and PMO can last for days, weeks, or even years. Sharrah described the symptoms of this extremely rare condition, of which only 75 cases were recorded in the aforementioned study conducted by researchers at Dartmouth College in New Hampshire.

CRAPED FACES

“He noted that the severely constricted features of the face, with deep grooves on his forehead, cheeks, and chin, were present on the face of every person he encountered, but he did not report any distortions when looking at objects such as houses or cars,” the study authors wrote. “The patient still recognized who he was, even though the faces were distorted.” He said he could recognize them.”

CREEPY FACIAL EXPRESSIONS

Interestingly, the truck driver did not see these creepy facial expressions when viewing facial representations on the screen or on paper. Unlike some symptoms of schizophrenia or other psychological disorders, goblin-like distortions “were not accompanied by delusional beliefs about the identities of those he encountered,” such as family and friends.

THEY TRIED TO SEE THE WORLD THROUGH HIS EYES

Fortunately, for the first time, researchers were able to create photorealistic visual representations of Sharrah’s facial deformities caused by PMO, effectively allowing them to see the world through her eyes. To achieve this, they took a photo of a person’s face and then showed it on the screen while the patient looked at the real person’s actual face.

A DEMONIC FACE

Sharrah then provided real-time feedback on how the well-intentioned face differed from its on-screen counterpart. Then, like a sketch artist in a state-of-the-art courtroom, the scientists used computer software to visually recreate the distortions Southern described and then ran them alongside the patient to confirm what they saw. In other words, they were putting a demonic face in front of the name.

WE MANAGED TO VISUALIZE

Dr. D., lead author of the study and a researcher at Dartmouth. “Throughout the process, we were able to visualize the patient’s real-time perception of facial distortions,” said Antônio Mello. “In other studies of the condition, patients with PMO are unable to evaluate how accurately visualizations of their distortions represent what they see because the visualization itself depicts a face, so patients will also perceive these distortions.”
