A 10-year-old girl is undergoing a harrowing medical battle after being diagnosed with a rare condition that required surgeons to drill 13 holes in her skull to save her life.
The young girl, whose identity has not been disclosed, was admitted to hospital after experiencing severe symptoms. Doctors discovered she had dangerously high pressure in her brain, leading to the urgent surgical intervention.
Race Against Time
Medical teams worked tirelessly to relieve the pressure building inside her skull. The procedure, known as a burr hole surgery, involved creating multiple openings to drain fluid and prevent further damage.
Her family has been by her side throughout the ordeal, watching helplessly as their daughter endures one operation after another. "We're living a nightmare," her mother told reporters. "Every day is a battle, but she's so brave."
Plea for Support
The family is now appealing for help as they face mounting medical expenses and an uncertain road to recovery. Friends and well-wishers have started fundraising campaigns to support the treatment.
Pediatric specialists remain cautiously optimistic but warn that the girl faces a long rehabilitation process. "Cases like this are extremely rare," one doctor explained. "The next few weeks will be critical."
The community has rallied around the family, with neighbours and strangers alike offering prayers and donations. Local schools have organized charity events to contribute to the cause.
