Hope for 18-month-old girl with rare skull condition after charity offers to pay for treatment

Roona Begum suffers from a severe case of Hydrocephalus

An 18-month-old girl whose head swelled up to three times its normal size due to a build up of fluid inside the skull is to undergo vital surgery.

Roona Begum, who suffers from a severe case of rare condition Hydrocephalus, will have the
excess fluid drained in a procedure to take place at India's largest private hospital in Gurgoan, near Delhi, tomorrow.
After her plight appeared in a number of publications, including MailOnline, a charity came forward to offer help.

The Fortis Foundation flew Roona's poverty-stricken family from their rural village to the hospital where doctors hope that the exploratory procedure will relieve the pressure and allow them to properly examine Roona before deciding how to treat her further.

Doctors have already said that the youngster is lucky to be alive, with most sufferers of the condition not surviving beyond a year old.
