Extractions: Minnie Woolsey a.k.a. Koo Koo, the Blind Girl from Mars, was born in 1880 and was afflicted with "bird-headed dwarfism", also called Seckel's syndrome, nanocephaly, or Harper's syndrome. Other individuals with nanocephaly included Caroline Crachami, the "Sicilian Fairy" (1815-1824) and Nicholas Ferry (1741-1764), the king of Poland's court dwarf. Seckel's syndrome is a form of intrauterine dwarfism (symptoms present before birth) that causes proportional short stature, beak-like nose and large ears, absence of hair and teeth, mental retardation, and joint and limb defects such as clubfoot. Koo Koo, additionally, was blind, and her act included staring into space, not responding to anything around her. Koo Koo appears in Freaks in the brief but memorable scene in which she dances on the table before the wedding feast. "I knew Koo-Koo, the Bird Girl. She was a tiny woman with a round body and skinny legs and a gigantic nose like a beak. She actually did look like a bird. But her elevator didn't go all the way to the top floor, you know?" - Melvin Burkhart Betty Green >>

Extractions: Dubowitzin oireyhtymä on hyvin harvinainen sairaus (vuosittain syntyy koko maailmassa n. 40 lasta), jota luonnehtii kasvun hidastuminen, lyhytkokoisuus ja poikkeavat kasvonpiirteet. Oireet voivat ilmaantua jo sikiövaiheessa tai heti syntymän jälkeen. Noin puolet oireyhtymään sairastuneista on kehitysvammaisia. Henkinen jälkeenjääneisyys on useimmiten lievää Dubowitzin oireyhtymän erikoispiirteitä ovat pienipäisyys, kallon saumojen ennenaikainen luutuminen, korkea otsa ja leveä nenänselkä, poikkeavat silmäkuopat, etäällä toisistaan olevat silmät ( hypertelorismi ) ja riippuluomet sekä luomirakojen ahtaus. Niinikään kasvojen, polvien ja kyynärpäiden syyhyävät punaiset ihoalueet ovat tavanomaisia. Ääni on erikoisen korkea tai käheä. Leuka on usein pienikokoinen ja nielu vajaakehittynyt. Muina oireina esiintyy mm. piilokiveksisyyttä, siittimen alahalkioita, valtimoiden poikkeavuuksia, peräaukon epämuodostumista ja lisäkilpirauhasen vajaatoimintaa. Lisäksi infektioalttius, uusiutuvat haavaiset suutulehdukset, lisääntynyt kasvainriski ja luuytimen vaurioituminen sekä valkosolujen niukkuus ovat osa taudinkuvaa.
