Arianna was born with a deformity of the skull. It looked like a droplet, elongated and pointed at the back of the head.
The strange shape of the head, the bump on the top of the head and the almost prolonged fontanel are cause for concern. Doctors did not think so, assuring that this happens when the fetus is incorrectly positioned in the womb. And the skull will align itself. Over time.
By the age of six months, nothing had changed - the parents began a new round of examinations. That was the first time the diagnosis was made – craniosynostosis. Too quickly fused bones of the skull tightly bound the growing brain. If he is not given space, his eyesight and hearing will begin to sag, and development will slow down.
Arianna underwent urgent surgery, and her head regained its proper shape. To fix the result, you need to use an orthopedic helmet. The design is made according to the child's measurements (and two will be required, as the head grows, one helmet will need to be replaced with another larger one). It should be worn constantly for almost a year. And then – remove and forget about the dangerous diagnosis forever. Only they don't give out helmets for free, and a family with five children can't afford such a purchase. We need our help. Let's help Arina grow up healthy and beautiful!
