| World's shortest woman visits the US (Youtube screengrab) |
Standing only 2 feet and 0.6 inches in height and weighing 12 pounds, Amge has a medical condition called achondroplasia, a common cause of dwarfism. She reportedly has brittle bones and is likely to need care for the rest of her life.
Despite her tiny stature, Amge is not the shortest woman in history. This title continues to be held by Pauline Musters of the Netherlands (1876-1895) who measured just 24 inches.
