Rare brain condition leaves woman seeing everything upside down
2013-03-15
[EXPRESS.CO.UK] Bojana Danilovic, 28, views everything the wrong way up because of a problem in the way her brain processes images.

The council worker has to read papers from the bottom up, uses an upside down computer screen and needs to work with topsy turvy forms in her job.

She said: "It may look incredible to other people but to me it's completely normal. I was born that way. It's just the way I see the world."

The economics graduate from Serbia, who has suffered from the condition since birth, relaxes at home by watching one TV balanced on its top while the rest of the family watch another.

Experts from Harvard University and at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology say she is suffering from 'spatial orientation phenomenon.'

Ms Danilovic, who works in the Serbian town of Uzice, said "They say my eyes see the images the right way up but my brain changes them. But they don't really seem to know exactly how it happens, just that it does and where it happens in my brain. They told me they've seen the case histories of some people who write the way I see, but never someone quite like me."
