Horrific! World's fattest woman who's not left her home in 25 years!

Iman Ahmad Abdulati has slowly ballooned to 500kgs after suffering a stroke at age 11.

Cairo: Only 36, Iman Ahmad Abdulati has not left her home in Alexandria for 25 years and is unable to move from her bed or even roll over because of her enormous size, according to media reports. She is believed to be the fattest woman alive.

Iman Ahmad Abdulati relies on her mother and sister Chaymaa Abdulati to perform everyday tasks like eating, changing clothes, cleaning and relieving herself.

Abdulati was born weighing a staggering five kg and was diagnosed with elephantiasis -- a parasitic infection that causes extreme swelling in limbs.

Physicians have also said that due to a "disruption of glands", her body stores and retains more water than it should.

As a baby, Iman learnt or get around using her hands. But by the age of 11 she couldn't support herself while standing up due to her weight and thus resorted to crawling around the house.

She had to drop out of primary school after suffering a cerebral stroke, which left her bedridden.

Since then, Iman has remained in her room -- totally stationary and unable to do anything.

Fearing death, her family has posted a desperate plea online to Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi asking for medical assistance.
