Fascinating.
Pentalogy of Cantrell is the name of his case, looks like it's not something new, but it is my first time seeing one.

I have heard of it before with infants and normally it is something they could surgically fix but he apparently lives somewhere that such surgery wasn't/isn't possible to do.
