Rare condition makes faces appear ‘demonic’: case study
A case report allows people with normal vision to see how the condition, prosopometamorphopsia, alters perception.
Some patients diagnosed with schizophrenia might instead have a rare visual condition that can cause other people’s faces to appear “demonic”, authors of a case study argue.
The condition, called prosopometamorphopsia (PMO), can cause facial features to appear drooped, larger, smaller, out of position or stretched.
