17-year-old Malee Duangdee from Thailand has been crowned as the tallest teenager in the world at a whopping 6 feet 10 inches (2.08 meters) and she could still be growing. At the age of 12, she just could reach 1.88 meters. Medics found a brain tumor that caused a hormone imbalance which meant she never stopped growing - and now she has to have an injection that costs 2,000 pounds every three months to control her growth.
17歲的泰國女孩馬莉·杜安格迪日前以2.08米的身高被冠為世界上個(gè)子最高的女孩。早在馬莉12歲時(shí),身高就已達(dá)1.88米。醫(yī)生在馬莉腦部發(fā)現(xiàn)了一個(gè)腫瘤,正是這一腫瘤致使馬莉體內(nèi)荷爾蒙分泌失衡,這也意味著馬莉?qū)肋h(yuǎn)“生長”下去。如今馬莉不得不每三個(gè)月注射一次價(jià)值2000英鎊的藥物來控制生長。
