A rare brain condition that has left a woman seeing everything upside down has baffled doctors.
Bojana Danilovic, 28, views everything the wrong way up because of a problem in the way her brain processes images.
The council worker has to read papers from the bottom up, uses an upside down computer screen and needs to work with topsy turvy forms in her job. She
said: "It may look incredible to other people but to me it's completely normal. "I was born that way. It's just the way I see the world."
The economics graduate from Serbia, who has suffered from the condition since birth, relaxes at home by watching one TV balanced on its top while the
rest of the family watch another.
Experts from Harvard University and at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology say she is suffering from 'spatial orientation phenomenon.'
Ms Danilovic, who works in the Serbian town of Uzice, said "They say my eyes see the images the right way up but my brain changes them. "But they
don't really seem to know exactly how it happens, just that it does and where it happens in my brain. "They told me they've seen the case histories
of some people who write the way I see, but never someone quite like me."

This is giving me a headache just thinking about it! Can you imagine what it would be like? You would think that in this day and age someone would
have made her a special pair of glasses that rotates what she sees? I suppose tho that she has got used to seeing the world this way.
Weird.
