Aubrey Cowart was born with a disease so rare, she would later be included in a case study to better understand it, identified only as “patient 12.” At the time of her diagnosis in 2016, she was one of just 15 people in the world known to have her condition: Smith-Kingsmore Syndrome. One of just 15.
The initial signs were subtle. Aubrey was about a week old when the family took their first outing to the park and her mom, Megan, posted on social media that she was always turning her head to one side. Another friend commented that it could be Torticollis, a condition where the neck muscles contract, causing the head to twist to one side.
