Surgeons performed a successful operation on Maryam and corrected the congenital deformity of the skull with the help of special plates. Now the child's brain has room to grow, and nothing threatens the normal development of the baby. Thank you for coming to the rescue!

Maryam's skull bones had fused together in her womb. The head looked abnormally long and narrow, and the brain was trapped in an ossified cranium. This threatened the girl not only with pressure surges and hearing and vision problems, but also with developmental delays. Now all the threats are behind us, thanks to the operation using bioresorbable (self-absorbable) plates.

"My grace is immeasurable! — says Maryam Patimat's mother. — May the Almighty grant health to all those who helped us. This operation is the most expensive gift for me and my daughter. Now she's healthy, and my tears have dried up and my fears for her future are gone."

Maryam's surgery was successful, the stitches have already been removed, and her head has returned to normal width and length. The girl eats mashed potatoes, porridges with an appetite and babbles a lot in her own language. Parents still have to protect Maryam's head from bumps and overheating while recovery is underway. But the main thing is that you can already forget about the terrible diagnosis and live happily.

Thank you, tubers, for helping the Mutalimov family.

Maryam needs plates for cranial surgery

Maryam's skull bones had fused together in her womb. The head has become abnormally long and narrow, and the child's brain is trapped where there is absolutely no room for growth. An operation using expensive self-absorbable plates is necessary. This will help you forget about the dangerous diagnosis forever.

When Patimat saw her newborn daughter, she immediately noticed the strange shape of the head – elongated, pointed at the back of the head, with a wide protruding forehead. I sent the photo to my relatives, but no one has ever seen it.

"Not only were we at a complete loss, but also the doctors, who also had not encountered such a pathology," says Patimat. – We were diagnosed with scaphocephaly a month later and explained that it could be fixed with surgery. The main thing is to do it on time - at 7-8 months, before the baby's brain hits the skull. Otherwise, developmental delays, hearing and vision loss, and headaches will begin.

While Maryam is developing in age. But because of the sharp nape of her neck, it's hard for her to breathe when she's lying on her back. Patimat is also worried about the fact that her daughter hardly spends six months. Perhaps this is an alarm bell - the brain is cramped, and you need to hurry. Let's help Maryam become the most ordinary girl with the right head shape and a healthy future.
