Thanks to your help, the child now has an orthopedic helmet, which helps to consolidate the results of the skull surgery. Both Ahmad’s mother and the doctors now like the way his head looks. Thank you for coming to the rescue so quickly!

Ahmad’s “fontanelle” closed too early, and a hard ridge formed in its place. Before the growing brain became compressed, the surgeons urgently performed a skull shape reconstruction on the child. But that was only the first stage. The second step was a 6‑month wearing of a special helmet made to individual measurements.

“Our family is immensely grateful to all the kind people who helped us continue the treatment,” says Ahmad’s mother. “Our son wears the helmet all the time; we only take it off when he’s bathing. In two months, his head has acquired the correct shape, and all the skull bones have moved into place.”

This was confirmed by a neurologist at the republican hospital. And the mother herself can see that her fifth child’s head has taken on the correct shape, like that of all her older children.

In the family, because of the helmet, Ahmad is compared to an MMA fighter. And there’s no exaggeration in that. The boy wears the helmet without any fuss. In 4 months, the orthopedic device will be removed, and he’ll be able to forget about the dangerous diagnosis for good. Thank you for helping him in time!

About the campaign

Ahmad needs an orthopedic helmet so that his skull bones grow properly

Ahmad has scaphocephaly, the cranial sutures fused too quickly, depriving the brain of space for growth. At an early age, the disease does not manifest itself, but as the child grows, it threatens to increase intracranial pressure, hearing and vision problems.

At the hospital, no one noticed that there was no fontanel under Ahmad's fluffy hair. Already at home, Milana, running her hand over her son's head, felt a small comb that stretched all the way to the back of his head. An MRI scan confirmed premature fusion of the sagittal suture. Ahmad underwent surgery to reconstruct his skull. Now it is important to always wear a special helmet that will allow the bones of the skull to grow in the right direction. As you grow, you will need to make a second helmet according to the child's standards. These orthopedic structures are not given out for free. Let's help Ahmad complete his treatment and gain a complete victory over the disease!
