Aye is a 13-month-old baby girl from Burma.
Aye was born with a meningocele, a mass on the back of her head. Over time, Aye’s mother has noticed that the mass on her daughter’s head has gradually grown. The mass hurts when touched, which causes Aye to cry often and sleep poorly.
Aye underwent surgery to remove the mass, and a post-op CT scan revealed enlarged ventricles in Aye’s brain. The doctor who operated on Aye wants to get a follow-up CT scan to see if any of her symptoms remain.
