Woman with ‘Syndrome X’ dies at 20 but still looks like a toddler

A woman who died last week at the age of 20 never aged.

Brooke Greenberg, of Reisterstown, Md., puzzled medical professionals for years because she still looked and acted like a toddler. Doctors eventually dubbed her extremely rare condition "Syndrome X."

“While the outside world may have noticed Brooke’s physical stature and been puzzled by her unique development state, she brought joy and love to her family,” Rabi Andrew Busch, who delievered the eulogy at the funeral, told the Daily News Monday.

“Her parents, three sisters and extended family showered her with love and respected her dignity throughout her entire life.”
