This Baby Born with His Brain Outside His Skull Will Inspire You
The odds were stacked against a little boy who was born with his brain outside his skull, but he is defying all of them, thanks to a groundbreaking procedure performed at Boston Children’s Hospital.
Sierra Yoder and her husband, Dustin, were sent to a neurologist after Sierra’s 22-week ultrasound. She was soon shocked to learn that the child growing inside her had encephalocele, which causes all or part of the brain to form outside the skull, usually in a “sac-like protrusion.” Encephalocele affects 1 in every 10,000 babies.
