Tia-Mae McCarthy looks like any normal seven-year-old, but has never been able to eat or drink in her life.
She was born with a hole in her oesophagus - linking her mouth to her stomach - and spent her first year in hospital where doctors doubted she would survive.
An operation closed the gap. But Tia-Mae never began to eat or drink, even though there is no physical reason stopping her, reports The Sun.
The schoolgirl has a mixture of food with vitamins and nutrients pumped directly into her stomach each night to keep her alive. Her lack of any physical desire to eat has left British doctors baffled.http://www.hindustantimes.com/online...8,00180021.htm
