This is my first thread post. I have looked and searched through and cant find it here. If it is here i apologise in advance.
Its such a shame but i hear she is doing well after her first surgery

An 18-month-old girl suffering from a severe case of Hydrocephalus is to have free life-saving surgery.

Roona Begum’s condition – also known as “water on the brain” – caused her brain to swell to three times its normal size.

Doctors say Roona is lucky to be alive, with most sufferers not surviving beyond 12 months.

Roona Begum suffers from a severe case of Hydrocephalus
But thanks to the intervention of medics at India's largest private hospital in Gurgoan, near Delhi, she is set to have the excess fluid drained in a procedure taking place on Friday.

The procedure is only possible after Roona and her poverty-stricken family, from the rural village of Agartala, were flown free of charge to the hospital by the Fortis Foundation.

Doctors hope the exploratory procedure will relieve the pressure and allow them to properly examine Roona before deciding on further treatment.

Dr Sandeep Vaishya, Director of Neurosurgery at Fortis Memorial Research Institute, who is treating Roona, said: "I was surprised when I saw the baby for the first time. Even though I had seen her pictures, I wasn’t expecting the head to be so big.

Roona's condition is among the worst doctors have seen
"Her head measures 94 cm, in similar cases the average measurement is around 50-60 cm.

"Her head is swollen to an extent that she is not able to close her eyes completely. We have an opthamologist looking at her eyes, so that there are no complications there.

"We are hopeful that she will make a complete recovery. The challenge is to drain her brain fluid in a gradual manner, so as the brain gets used to it."
