For the first time in history, doctors have operated on the brain of an unborn child. Doctors attempted to operate on the baby while still in the fetal stage following it was discovered that a serious genetic defect might occur. The incident took place in Louisiana, USA. Derrick-Kenyatta’s baby was operated on. Doctors later informed that the baby is fine.
The problem was that the blood vessel that carries blood from the brain to the heart did not develop properly. It can lead to blood clots in the veins, damage to organs including the heart and brain, and even loss of life. The doctors decided to perform the operation following finding that the condition of the unborn child was serious.
50-60 percent of babies with this condition suddenly become critical due to the disease. About 40 percent of these are fatal. Sixty percent of babies have a chance of having heart problems or problems affecting the brain. Usually babies are diagnosed following birth. But here the doctors found that the condition of the baby is getting worse through the ultrasound scan.
According to the medical report, the baby would have died before birth if the surgery had not been done in the fetal stage. The disease was detected by scanning at 30 weeks of age. The surgery was done when the fetus was 34 weeks and two days old. The surgery was led by a team of doctors led by Dr. Darren Orbach of Boston Children’s Hospital.
Post-natal MRI scans revealed no abnormalities in the baby’s brain or other spinal cord. The baby weighed regarding two kilograms at birth. Derrick and Kenyatta have named their baby girl Denver Coleman.
