- description: Sarah Atwell, 17, of Windsor, Canada, has a form of neurofibromatosis that has caused facial disfigurement since she was eight months old. Her story is the focus of "Girl With Half A Face," a documentary debuting Dec. 18 on Discovery Fit & Health. Atwell, 17, was about eight months old when one side of her face began to appear larger than the other. That's when doctors discovered she had a genetic disorder that causes tumours in tissues that surround nerves throughout the body, according to the Nova Scotia Chronicle Herald. Along with the physical disfigurement, Atwell's disorder, officially called type 1 neurofibromatosis (NF1), causes severe headaches and blurred vision.
