OMG: Disease Causes Tragic Toddler’s Head To Swell Up Like A Balloon

India Baby with big head disease1

I can’t look at the photos twice…This is shocking and I hope the little girl gets the required treatment. So Sad…

The UK Sun Reports;

A HEARTBROKEN dad cradles his 18-month-old daughter, who suffers from a rare disorder which has caused her head to swell up three times its normal size.

Roona Begum, from Agartala, in north eastern India has hydrocephalus – a build up cerebrospinal fluid inside her skull.

Sufferers experience loss of coordination and speech and in long-term cases it can result in mental disability and death.

A treatment is available, in which doctors drain the fluid, but it isn’t available on India’s version of the NHS.

Roona’s dad, 26-year-old Abdul Rahman, earns less than £2 a day working in a brick factory and can’t afford to pay for her to be treated privately.

India’s rural development minister bitterly criticised the country’s public health system in a speech last November – claiming the government was failing to provide enough help for the poor.

  1. No joseph, that’s hydrocephalus and that’s how it is. There is nothing fake about it. She is hypotonic and can’t stand on her own, has ”sunset” eye sign, all consistent with the disease. There are many more cases, its not that rare a disease. So pls just be sympathetic to her plight if u hav no cash to help rather than give unkind words.
