康复中的伊森,手术留下的疤痕依然明显
新华网10月11日电 据英国《太阳报》报道,英国一名2岁男童历经长达5小时的开颅手术后,又将头骨拼合回原来的样子,就像拼积木一样。只有两岁的伊森梅尔,生来患有狭颅症,这是一种会使颅内压增高的罕见疾病。
如果不接受手术治疗,伊森会产生脑功能障碍,视力、语言、包括行走也会出现问题。
来自牛津约翰拉德克利夫医院的外科医生切开了他的颅骨,为其重新塑形并缝合。
小伊森现已回到了在戈斯波特的家,而且不再需要任何手术。他年轻的母亲骄傲地说:虽然他的头皮上留下了一道长且曲折的疤痕,但是它正被长出的头发逐渐遮住。我们看到的,就只是孩子灿烂的笑脸。“

A TODDLER had a five-hour operation to BREAK apart his skull and piece it back together — just like a JIGSAW.
Ethan Mair, two, was born with craniosynostosis — a rare condition which causes the skull to fuse, meaning pressure builds up on the brain.
Without the op Ethan could have had brain damage, eye, speech and walking problems.
Surgeons at Oxford"s John Radcliffe Hospital broke his skull, reshaped it and put it back.
Ethan is back home in Gosport, Hants, and won"t need any more ops, Proud mum Ashlea, 24, said: “He"s been left with a big zig-zag scar across his scalp, but that"s slowly being hidden with a full head of hair. Just seeing him smile is incredible.” (来源:新华国际)
