An 11-year-old boy is ‘one-in-a-million’ because he is one of just 30 people across the world with a rare form of dwarfism.

Levi Krystosek, from Ocean Springs, Mississippi, was expected to die within days of being born – but he overcame the odds.

However, his parents remain on tenterhooks as a playful tussle with his friends could be ‘catastrophic’ for the 3ft 1in schoolboy.

Doctors diagnosed ‘Little Levi’ with Jansen’s Metaphyseal Chondrodysplasia – which affects the growth of bones and causes considerable pain.
