A Thai boy born with a rare form of dwarfism weighs only four kilogrammes.

Footage shows relatives and villagers fawning over the child named Nong Ka Fuse, 7, who lives with his family in Sakon Nakhon province, Thailand.

Despite his tiny size, the youngster is full of energy and enjoyed playing with his toys or running around the yard at his home.

Seckel syndrome, also called 'bird-headed dwarfism' is a rare genetic condition that causes growth retardation, microcephaly or smaller than average head size, and cognitive impairment.

The disorder is characterised by short stature, and a distinctly narrow face with a 'beak-like' nose.
