Jerly Lyngdoh's case is similar to the character Brad Pitt played in The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. Both, even in their older age, are as tall as babies

A 26-year-old youth who looks like a toddler has baffled doctors in Meghalaya. Jerly Lyngdoh is an adult trapped, perhaps forever, in a baby's body and mind.

Born on March 29, 1983, Jerly has not grown beyond 84 cm, which is the normal height of a two-year-old baby and weighs about 10 kg. He cannot communicate and needs his mother's help for any normal activity. In fact, the only sign of adulthood in him is his denture, his milk teeth having been replaced at the right age.
