An Indian baby whose head swelled to almost three times its normal size successfully underwent a second round of reconstructive surgery on June 28 to correct her skull. <br /><br />Roona Begum was born with hydrocephalus, a condition in which an abnormal amount of fluid collects in the brain. Roona's condition had caused her head to swell to a circumference of 94 centimetres. Her head shrunk to about 60 centimetres after procedures conducted in May and is expected to shrink further after the latest operation. <br />Hydrocephalus is an abnormal expansion of ventricles within the brain due to an abnormally large accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid.<br /><br />This animation illustrates two types of hydrocephalus that commonly occur in children and adults: communicating and noncommunicating hydrocephalus. <br />--------------------------------------------------------<br /><br />TomoNews is your daily source for top animated news.
