Dream - A family dubbed aliens because they suffer from a strange disease that causes their faces to swell and become irregular. The five siblings are even compared to alien creatures in the science fiction film titled E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, released in 1982. In the photo, these five siblings have faces that are not normal in shape like others.

"Unsymmetrical Face"

Their eyes are wide, their cheekbones grow too big. In addition, there are lumps on their nose and their dental health is poor. But strangely, their other seven siblings do not have these physical characteristics. They look normal.

"Suffering from Strange Illness Since Childhood"

The strange condition of the faces of these five siblings has puzzled health experts. They are confused about what triggers the unusual symptoms in Isaias, Graciosa, Preciosa, Antonio, and Miguelina Bautista. According to information, the faces of these siblings from the Dominican Republic have been like that since they were children.

Due to their strange facial features, the Bautista brothers have experienced bullying throughout their lives. They were mocked and given hurtful nicknames. They were even considered not to be human descendants but aliens.

"At one point, we even started to believe it. People said that we were like that, creatures from outer space."
According to Isaiah, one of the Baptist brothers.

The sad story of the Bautista siblings about people's treatment towards them.

Apart from facial abnormalities, the Bautista siblings also suffer from headaches, difficulty breathing, dizziness, and body pain. They come from a poor family in the small community of Jinova de San Juan, Dominican Republic.

Although they are in desperate need of work, they struggle to obtain it. That is because employers discriminate against them due to their physical appearance.

They also struggle to get an explanation from the doctor about their strange condition. Unfortunately, the doctor cannot provide a definite answer. The doctor only suspects that they are suffering from leontiasis.

"Mysterious and Rare Disease"

Leontiasis, often referred to as lion face syndrome, is an excessive growth of the skull and face bones. Neurologist Dr. Franly Vazquez describes it as a 'very rare disease, with less than 40 cases reported worldwide'. Vazquez adds that 'patients experience calcium buildup on the bones that form the face and skull'.

The growth of the Bautista siblings' facial bones, which is uncontrollable, can severely compress nerves. This can lead to blindness, hearing impairment, intellectual disability, and other difficulties.

There is no cure

However, Vazquez was amazed and praised the Bautista brothers for being extraordinary because they are still alive. "Unfortunately, there is no treatment that can cure this disease. Treatment is only aimed at minimizing the symptoms," explained Vazquez. The only treatment available is to find the most prominent bone and cut it.
