A baby from Chanchamayo was admitted to El Carmen Hospital with a critical diagnosis of spina bifida and ruptured myelomeningocele, a congenital condition that affects the spine and the meninges that cover the spinal cord.
In the first week of September, she underwent initial surgery, and was subsequently detected to have hydrocephalus with infection, an accumulation of fluid in the brain that required various interventions.
The director of the Carmen hospital, Luis Porras, highlighted the hard work of the Neurosurgery, Neonatal ICU and traumatology teams involved in his recovery. The patient was discharged in good condition, but remains under observation.
