Joseph Carey Merrick (5 August – 11 April ) was an English artist known for his severe physical deformities. He was first exhibited at a freak show under the stage name "The Elephant Man", and then went to live at the London Hospital, in Whitechapel, after meeting Sir Frederick Treves, subsequently becoming well known in London society.
Elephant man death
In a article in the British Medical Journal, Michael Cohen and J.A.R. Tibbles proposed the idea that Joseph Merrick (an Englishman known as the "Elephant Man") had Proteus syndrome. However, the exact condition that Joseph Merrick had is still not known with certainty. Proteus syndrome face
Elephantiasis, often incorrectly called elephantitis, is the enlargement and hardening of limbs or body parts due to tissue swelling (edema). [1][2] It is characterised by edema, hypertrophy, and fibrosis of skin and subcutaneous tissues, due to obstruction of lymphatic vessels (lymphedema). [2]. It may affect the genitalia. [2]. Proteus syndrome is a rare genetic disorder that can cause tissue overgrowth involving all three embryonic lineages. Joseph Carey Merrick (5 August 1862 – 11 April 1890) was an English artist known for his severe physical deformities. He was first exhibited at a freak show under the stage name "The Elephant Man", and then went to live at the London Hospital, in Whitechapel, after meeting Sir Frederick Treves, subsequently becoming well known in London society.
The exact cause of Merrick's deformities is unclear, but in 1986 it was conjectured that he had Proteus syndrome. As attenuated forms of the disease may exist, there could be many people with Proteus syndrome who remain undiagnosed. Those most readily diagnosed are also the most severely disfigured. The syndrome is named after the Greek sea god Proteus, who could change his shape. The condition appears to have been first described in the American medical.
