Another surgery for Ania

Ania’s mom got to know that her daughter would have health problems in late pregnancy. The baby was born with spina bifida, which is an incomplete closing of the spine. This pathology is commonly called a hernia. The girl was immediately operated on. However, unfortunately, this disease is usually accompanied by hydrocephalus. Another surgery is required to install the CSF shunt system. But the family is no longer able to buy everything they need.

Anna is the smallest of four children in the family. Her parents were looking forward to having her. But during pregnancy, the mother fell ill. Perhaps that cold she had caught led to the girl’s birth defect. The surgery was performed on time, but, unfortunately, the patient had irreversible changes: partial paresis of the legs. After the discharge from the hospital, the doctors recommended regular checkups for hydrocephalus. And one day, when a family came to the Institute of Neurosurgery for a consultation, it turned out that surgery should be performed as soon as possible.

Let’s help this little girl together!
