Meet the Man with an Upside Down Head (Photos)

Claudio Vieira de Oliveira was born in Monte Santo,a part of Brazil, with a deformed legs, he has almost no use of his arms and hands and his neck has turned his head upside down.
But rather than simply wallow in his disadvantages, he is 37-year-old man and with this deformation he never gave up he still went ahead and study and has defied the odds to become an accountant and inspirational public speaker. The fact that he's alive at all is a medical miracle. Claudio was given virtually no chance of survival when he was born, with doctors even telling his mum, Maria Jose, to stop giving food him as they believed he would not live for long with this deformation. But today, Claudio has learned how to do everyday activities using other parts of his body – he types with a pen held in his mouth, operates phones and a computer mouse with his lips and has specially made shoes that allow him to shuffle around town.
