Doctors at Gleneagles Global Health City (GGHC) hospital have performed a complex surgery on a four-year-old girl to remove a tumour from the brainstem. According to a press release from the hospital, since March last year, the child had been unable to walk and could not talk clearly. She had eye deviation too. In January 2021, she underwent a surgery at another hospital to remove the accumulation of fluid in her brain. However, her condition continued to deteriorate. In March, the girl was brought to GGHC, where the doctors diagnosed that she had a 6 cm by 4 cm tumour in a critical area, occupying and compressing the entire brainstem.More Related News
