A little girl in the United Kingdom is one of 40 people who suffer from the rare condition which makes them to be born without a nose.
17-month-old Tessa Evans has no sense of smell whatsoever but she can still sneeze and catch a cold and even a cough.
The little girl suffers other ailments relating to her condition which include having a hole in her heart and problems with her sight.
Despite the absence of a nasal cavity, Tessa can breathe on her own due to an artificial tube and doctors at the Great Ormond Street Hospital are devising a way to create a nose shaped mould for her which will be placed along her hairline.
The "nose" will be replaced as often as necessary as Tessa grows older.
