A two-year-old boy's skull was broken apart and put back together “like a jigsaw” after<br />an operation to stop his brain being crushed.<br /><br />Beau Harrison was diagnosed with craniosynostosis when he was just 18 months old.<br /><br />The rare condition, affecting one in 2,500 babies, is caused when joints in the skull fuse together too early, meaning there is not enough room for the brain to grow.<br /><br />If left untreated, it can crush parts of the brain, leading to an unusually-shaped head, learning difficulties, eye problems and, in rare cases, death.<br /><br />During Beau's painstaking 11-hour operation this year, surgeons at Sheffield Children's Hospital dismantled and rebuilt his skull piece-by-piece.
