The little child with the gauze wrapped around his head is only 9 months old.
At this point, she only had half a brain left.
Some people may ask why this child only has half a brain,
Is it because of a birth defect?
Logically, it is true that this situation is caused by birth defects.
It's just that she wasn't born with only half a brain, but she was just born in this world.
Suffering from an extremely rare disease that caused her body to lose control,
There will always be some strange moves to be made inexplicably.
In order to save the baby's life, doctors had to surgically remove half of the child's brain.
So, what about the baby later?
In a family in Beijing, there is a little girl named Little Sweetheart, who is only 9 months old.
One night, the sweetheart who was sleeping suddenly began to stir,
Parents are also awakened by the sweetheart's crying and moving, and subconsciously want to change her diaper,
But when the father skillfully removed the sweetheart's diaper,
But it was found that sweetheart did not pee at all.
If there is no urine, why is it so crying?
Is it hungry?
So, Dad quickly took the milk powder that had already been brewed,
I thought that eighty percent of the child was hungry, otherwise the reaction would not be so big.
What is puzzling is that the little sweetheart who is particularly hungry on weekdays did not even drink milk this time.
What's going on?
Suddenly, the mother holding the little sweetheart let out an exclamation,
"Husband, you see, is our child trembling?"
The father turned on the light and looked at it, and he was dumbfounded, where the child was trembling, obviously he was twitching slightly,
The whole body is twitching irregularly, and occasionally accompanied by a relatively large movement.
Whatever the reason, the little sweetheart is definitely not in a normal state at this time,
His parents didn't have time to think much about it, so they quickly put on their clothes and wanted to take their children to the hospital.
However, since the little sweetheart's body has lost control during this time,
The simple dressing action has become extremely difficult at this time,
However, seeing that the little sweetheart's convulsions were getting more and more serious, it was too late to waste time on getting dressed,
The father wrapped the child tightly in a small cup and put it into his arms.
In a hurry, he took a taxi to the hospital.
As soon as the couple got out of the car, they ran as fast as they could in the direction of the emergency room.
While running in his mouth, he also shouted:
"Is there anyone?" Who can save my children! ”
The medical staff on duty heard their shouts and hurried to follow the sound.
"I'm a pediatrician, how is the child?"
"I don't know, Doctor, I was sleeping well just now, and suddenly I started to convulse, so you can save my child!"
Seeing the crisis of the situation, the doctor immediately took the child and rushed into the emergency room.
Then the little sweetheart was treated urgently.
As the drug gradually works in the body, the body of the little sweetheart gradually settles down,
Looking at the child who had once again entered a deep sleep, the hanging heart of the sweetheart father and daughter finally fell.
In the doctor's office, the sweetheart parents described the scene to the doctor in detail.
After listening, the doctor also said:
"I called you here to ask you, have you ever committed domestic violence against your children?"
"No way, Doctor, that's our only child, and it's only 9 months old.
Such a big child, don't say domestic violence, you can't fall.
Why are you asking this question? ”
This time it was the doctor's turn to be surprised, the child was only 9 months old,
"That's right, I just noticed a red mark on the child's face,
I thought you slapped the child and caused the child to twitch,
Have any of your family members ever had epilepsy? ”
"No, our whole family is healthy, so it can't be a genetic disease."
Epilepsy is the second most common disease in China after headache,
The most obvious state of onset is a convulsion in a certain part of the body or the whole body.
The main factor of disease is heredity.
cranial nerve
However, since the whole family of the little sweetheart has never had such a situation,
It shows that she is not suffering from epilepsy, but another disease that she has never seen before.
Combined with the red scars on the child's face, is there any relationship between the two?
In order to allow the little sweetheart to get timely treatment, the doctor immediately conducted a full body examination of the little sweetheart again.
When the CT results appeared in front of everyone, everyone showed a look of disbelief.
"Oops, it's a cerebral facial hemangioma!"
After saying this, he rushed out of the office, took out the phone in his pocket and kept talking to people.
Cerebral facial hemangioma, which is an extremely rare congenital tumor,
It is mainly distributed in the brain and face where the ipsilateral erythema appears, and there will be complications such as epilepsy,
The most desperate thing is that there does not seem to be a targeted treatment for this disease in the world.
Treatment can only be carried out separately by the patient's specific condition.
Hearing the news, although the parents of the little sweetheart did not know how terrible the disease really was,
But since the name has the words "brain" and "tumor",
Then the problem is certainly not simple, maybe his daughter's life will be killed by him.
Next, many doctors came to The Little Sweetheart's ward and constantly observed the situation of the Little Sweetheart.
It turned out that they were all the helpers called by the doctor just now.
They are well aware of the harm of cerebral facial hemangiomas, and they really can't bear to let the disease take away this child who is only 9 months old.
When everyone witnessed the current situation of the little sweetheart, they immediately conducted a multi-disciplinary joint consultation.
It is hoped that through the exchange of suggestions between various departments, a set of treatment plans for small sweethearts can be developed.
However, even if the doctors have consulted countless materials, they have not been able to find an effective means for this disease.
The only thing that can be done is to treat the disease in each part separately according to the different conditions.
8 months have passed, and the body of the little sweetheart is compared to when he was first admitted to the hospital,
There has been too much improvement, even if there will be convulsions all over the body,
That's only occasional, and now the only thing that worries you,
It is how the brain tumor should be taken out.
Although now on the surface it seems that the little sweetheart is not unusual,
But the tumor seemed to be an untimely bomb in her body, which could erupt at any time.
At this time, a doctor suddenly appeared in the ward, and his arrival seemed to make other doctors breathe a sigh of relief.
It turned out that he was an expert who had performed more than 5,000 epilepsy surgeries.
If the little sweetheart can't get better healing in his hands,
Then the doctor can consider the matter of transferring the little sweetheart to the hospital.
However, after carefully observing The Little Sweetheart's condition,
Called her parents to the office:
"I also saw the situation of the child, and I had already made many plans before I came back.
According to the current situation, there is only one way to remove the tumor in the child's body. ”
"Doctor, you said, no matter what the method, we are willing to try,
As long as the child can live in good health. ”
"At present, only hemisphere resection can be performed.
This approach is extremely risky and has never been precedented, and we can only do it through existing experience.
Are you still willing to accept such conditions? ”
Hearing these words, the little sweetheart's parents were silent.
Because the doctor's words are asking yourself, now there are two ways,
One is to let the tumor go, no matter how long the child can live purely by providence,
The other is that the operation is performed recently, and if the operation is successful, then the child is alive.
If it fails, your child will not be able to get off the operating table.
Either option, there is no 100% chance of curing sweetheart's disease.
At this time, the doctor patiently advised:
"The child is really too young, and now always taking medicine will also affect her body,
So I think getting surgery as soon as possible is the best way, and I can guarantee.
I will definitely do my best to keep my children healthy. ”
At this time, the parents of the little sweetheart, the psychological defense line has completely collapsed,
They couldn't imagine what the future would be like for their daughter, who had lost half her brain.
I don't know if this operation will be successful.
But for the sake of their daughter's life, they still decided to gamble, "Do! ”
A simple word, mixed with too much heartache of parents, but also shows their infinite trust in doctors!
A few days later, with everyone's expectations, The little sweetheart was pushed into the operating room for hemicephalustomy.
Because the surgical site is too sensitive, a little attention will touch other nerves in the brain,
Therefore, even experts who have experienced hundreds of battles have to play with great spirit,
Carefully avoid other nerves, process the left brain of the little sweetheart,
Leave it asleep forever.
Outside the operating room, the mood of the little sweetheart's parents has been extremely bad,
Constantly pacing back and forth in the corridors of the hospital.
After 10 hours, the door to the operating room finally opened.
"The operation was a success, and all you have to do is wait for the child to wake up."
Thankfully, his daughter was finally born again,
The little sweetheart's parents kept thanking the doctor, and the doctor also explained some matters after the operation:
"We let the patient's left brain completely necrotic, so that the source of epilepsy was cut off.
Although the child has lost all the functions of the left brain, it will not affect the normal life later. ”
Although it sounds like Sweetheart has become a disabled person,
But for his parents, as long as the child can live safely and healthily,
That's more important than anything else.
You know, when Little Sweetheart underwent surgery, the parents were in the corridor for 10 hours.
I don't know how many tears were left, but they kept praying:
"God, as long as my daughter can survive safely,
No matter what she looks like, I am willing to raise her for the rest of my life. ”
Later, The little sweetheart was successfully discharged from the hospital, except for the limbs controlled by the left brain that were slightly less flexible.
It didn't affect her IQ and she never had symptoms of epilepsy again.
I hope that in the days to come, Little Sweetheart can become a person who has made outstanding contributions to society and the motherland.
