Asree Gul, a 2-month-old Afghan baby born with an extra skull is recovering this week after undergoing a risky but successful procedure that was performed by doctors in eastern Afghanistan to remove the skull. Asree was discharged on Wednesday, after a successful operation in a Nangarhar hospital last week. The surgery was complicated by vital nerves and blood vessels that were linked to the second skull. Ahmad Obaid Mojadid, the doctor who carried out the operation, described it as "the first of its kind in Afghanistan's east". "We don't have very developed equipment," he said, "but we are very happy to have conducted the operation successfully". Interestingly, Asree has a healthy twin sister who was delivered without complications (see picture below).The doctors believe her second skull comes from a third baby that failed to develop in the womb. Asree was born to a family of farmers in Chaparhar district. The family approached doctors after Asree Gul's second skull made it difficult for her to sleep, and led to her being stigmatized within their village. We are glad the procedure was successful and we wish baby Asree a speedy recovery and the very best in life! http://www.infonubia.com/2013/09/doctors-successfully-operates-on-asree.html Source: BBC
