Toddler who survived horrific brain swelling could attend school

Roona Begum, 2, who required emergency surgery after suffering from an extreme form of hydrocephalus, or water on the brain, has not only surpassed her survival expectations, she is even well enough to eat and crawl.Last year surgeons in Dheli had to operate on her after discovering her rare condition, which caused her skull to deform as her head swelled up, however even after the successful surgery they predicted she would not live very long.Her parents, Abdul Rahman, 21, and Fatima Khatun, 23, say she interacts with them and smiles, and hope she will be well enough to attend school later this year.Following the toddler’s amazing recovery doctors are considering performing another operation to further reduce the size of her head.However her parents, having seen their child spend much of her short life in hospital, are worried about the risks of such a procedure and are debating whether or not to go ahead with it.(http://metro.co.uk/)Bakudaily.az
