His brain had grown into the nose through a crack in the skull
An eight-year-old boy suffering from a rare condition called 'nasal encephalocele' got a new lease of life after doctors at a private hospital performed a unique surgery to remove brain matter hanging into his nose. An 'encephalocele' is a rare congenital disorder where the bones of a baby’s skull do not close completely in the mother’s uterus.
