After birth, Vlad was diagnosed with aortic valve stenosis, that is, a narrowing that prevents normal blood flow from the left ventricle of the heart to the aorta.
Doctors decided to operate on the valve when Vlad was four months old. The operation was complicated - on an open heart, with artificial circulation. When the baby was brought out of anesthesia, severe convulsions began, and later a CT scan showed cerebral edema - an extensive stroke. Every day in the intensive care unit there was a fight for his life. Vlad's mother did not leave the intensive care unit: for 21 days she was with her son and waited for improvement. And finally the boy came to his senses!
After this, the baby was diagnosed with a number of other diagnoses: acute cerebrovascular accident, spastic tetraparesis, optic nerve atrophy, epilepsy. All these manifestations are interconnected and prevent Vlad from developing normally. To accurately determine the cause of epileptic seizures, Vlad needs to undergo a complex procedure - exome sequencing. His mother is raising her son alone, and all her savings go towards her son's examination and rehabilitation. Let's help Vlad undergo the examination and choose the right treatment!
