Have you ever heard about a man turning into stone?? If no, then you must see the patients of this weird syndrome. Their damaged tendons, ligaments and soft tissues regrow into permanent bones. This abnormal skeleton slowly imprisons the patient drawing him near towards death. Children with this disease have abnormal big toes, absence of a joint or formation of skin lumps. Gradually all the body muscles and tissues start changing into bones and become immovable leading to death. It is a genetic disorder whose only symptom is abnormal big toe at birth.
