Ollie Trezise, from Maesteg, Wales, was born with a rare condition which caused his brain to grow through a crack in his skull into his nose – making it stick out like the Disney character, Pinocchio.

Amy first discovered that something was different abut Ollie at her 20-week scan, when doctors told her he had unexpected soft tissue growing on his face.
However, she was still shocked when she gave birth to him at Cardiff University Hospital in February 2014.
