16-month-old Indian girl Runa Begum has hydrocephalus, a disease that causes abnormal fluid buildup in the brain cavities.
Because of lack of money, the parents could not treat their daughter.
The girl’s mother, Fatima, said that doctors in the area were unable to improve her child’s condition, Gazeta.ua wrote in connection with Reuters.
Meanwhile, Begum’s father Abdul Rehman, who works at a brick factory, said they were unable to treat his daughter due to financial problems.
Note that in most cases, hydrocephalus in newborns is caused by an infectious disease that the mother contracted during pregnancy, leading to disorders of the ventricular system of the fetus.
In addition to congenital hydrocephalus, acquired hydrocephalus can also develop after meningitis, head trauma, intoxication, etc.
Due to pressure on areas of the brain, vision begins to decrease, convulsions appear, compression of the brainstem, etc
This can lead to death, severe neurological disorders and reduced intellectual abilities.
