India - Baby survives swelling
Print Edition
Doctors Friday discharged a one-year-old Indian baby who underwent multiple surgeries to correct a rare disorder that caused her head to nearly double in size, a neurosurgeon said.
Roona Begum endured several surgeries that saw doctors at a hospital near New Delhi drain fluid from her head in a life-saving operation and dramatically reduce the size of her skull.
“Roona’s health has improved significantly ... We have discharged the baby this morning and she is fit to travel,” neurosurgeon Sandeep Vaishya said.
Roona was born with a condition that causes cerebrospinal fluid to build up on the brain. Her head swelled to a circumference of 94 centimeters.
