Sonal Waghela from Gujarat, India refuses to feed, look at, or even name to her newborn son because he kind of looks like an alien.

Pictured above is a nameless child with a gargantuan, alien-like head that weighs 2.15kg (4.74lbs). According to Dr. Hiren Thumer, the little
bundle of oversized joy has an accumulation of water in his head.

“The head swells like a balloon because of water accumulation inside the brain, and hence the baby looks abnormal,” Hiren said. “Generally, these types of births occur in one in a hundred thousand deliveries.”

The boy unfortunately is at great risk of death, especially within the first six months. Hiren explained that this can be avoided with brain surgery. The problem is that the baby’s own family rejects him.

Poor baby has Hydrocephalus. The doctors shoud tell her that the accumulated fluid can be drained from the skull.

Give this baby a VP shunt and he will be back to normal...

The doctor should just counsel the parents about the disorder: its risks, complications and treatment!!!

Wow......


I don't think I am emotionally strong enough to face this one o!!


I can't blame the mother, e no easy!
Re: Indian Mother Rejects Baby With Hydrocephalus by Nobody: 5:21pm On Dec 02, 2012
Hydrocephacelus isnt a big deal. I know someone with it...After surgery you cant even have the idea she had a history of it. The trauma can be great though.
Re: Indian Mother Rejects Baby With Hydrocephalus by Nobody: 5:42pm On Dec 02, 2012
No one prays to have such child.the annoying part of it is that the ailment is not as a result of what the mother must have taken during pregnancy.the cause of the illness is yet unknown.i dont even pray for my enemy to pass thru what i suffered at all.

Can the brain cells grow big to occupy the space? If yes, we have a genius of the future.
Re: Indian Mother Rejects Baby With Hydrocephalus by slimyem: 6:26pm On Dec 02, 2012
No woman should abandon her own child under any circumstance...
That mother is very ignorant..
Sure if the baby's operated and back to normal,she won't hesitate to take it back..!
