"Brooke Greenberg is the size of an infant, with the mental capacity
of a toddler.

She turned 16 in January.
Younger sister says "we joke about how she rebels" like a true 16-year-old.

"Why doesn't she age?" Howard Greenberg, 52, asked of his daughter.
"Is she the fountain of youth?"

Such questions are why scientists are fascinated by Brooke. Among the
many documented instances of children who fail to grow or develop in
some way, Brooke's case may be unique, according to her doctor, Johns
Hopkins School of Medicine pediatrician Lawrence Pakula, in Baltimore.

"Many of the best-known names in medicine, in their experience ... had
not seen anyone who matched up to Brooke," Pakula said. "She is always
a surprise."

Brooke hasn't aged in the conventional sense. Dr. Richard Walker of
the University of South Florida College of Medicine, in Tampa, says
Brooke's body is not developing as a coordinated unit, but as
independent parts that are out of sync. She has never been diagnosed
with any known genetic syndrome or chromosomal abnormality that would
help explain why. "
