Baby Not Expected to Live Miraculously Survives Removal of 7-Pound Growth
On December 6th 2013, Kevin and Jennifer Sheridan gave birth to a 12 pound baby boy they named Owen. Owen was diagnosed before birth with a rare disorder called encephalocele. Encephalocele is a condition in which part of a developing baby's skull doesn't fully close, allowing the brain to come through the hole in the skull. The CDC estimates that 375 babies in the United States are born with encephalocele each year or 1 out of every 10,000 babies born in the U.S yearly will have encephalocele.
The encephalocele caused Owen to be born with a 7-pound growth on his head. Ref. Source 3
