A Scots baby was diagnosed with an ultra rare disorder which affects less than 100 people in the world after doctors noticed that his hands were going 'rigid'. Louie Smith was born 12 weeks early after mum Nancie, 23, went to a hospital in Aberdeen complaining of back pain and a possible urinary tract infection on September 9 last year. The shocked parents - who had planned to give birth in Israel where dad Andrew had been working - were told that the mum was in labour.
The tot was born just hours later weighing only 3lb 7oz. The parents, from Mintlaw in Aberdeenshire, quickly realised something was wrong as Louie suffered from frequent apnoea episodes - a sudden cessation of breathing that lasts for at least 20 seconds. Louie underwent a several procedures including MRI scan, blood tests, CT scans and x-rays to get to the bottom of the troubling symptoms. Baffled doctors asked the couple to undergo genetic testing after a consultant noticed the tots hands and back would go rigid during the apnoea attack
