最袖珍女孩仅半米(图)

Standing 58cm and weighing less than 5kg, Jyoti Amge (see photo), 15, from India, claims to be the world's smallest girl, according to Daily Mail. Doctors believe Jyoti is a pituitary dwarf, which is caused when the body fails to produce enough growth hormone. Despite her size she insists on going to the local school and dreams of becoming an actress. People flock to see the teenager and some even treat her as a goddess.

据英国《每日邮报》报道，世上最袖珍姑娘是来自印度的乔蒂•阿姆格(见图)，今年15岁，身高58厘米，体重不足5公斤。医生认为她患有垂体性侏儒症，是由身体未能分泌足够的成长激素引起的。尽管如此，她仍坚持上学并梦想成为明星。人们蜂拥而至来看望她，有些人甚至把她当成女神。
