Incredible transformation of the little girl with the 

gigantic head: Roona, two, has successful surgery to reduce huge swelling 

• Roona suffers from hydrocephalus - a potentially fatal condition that causes cerebrospinal fluid to build up on the brain
• Her condition caused her head to swell to a circumference of 94 centimetres 
• Roona's skull size has been reduced to 58cms after a series of operations
• Her latest reconstructive surgery was carried out in New Delhi on Friday
• Pictures taken of Roona on Christmas Day show her huge transformation。

ロォーナは脊髄液が脳に蓄積されて死に至る致命的な水頭症を患っている。

彼女の頭部は周囲９４センチまでに膨れ上がる状態！・・・。

ロォーナの頭部サイズは連続の手術で５８センチまで縮小された。

整形手術は先週の金曜日（２０１３年１２月２０日）、インド・ニューデリーで執刀された。

Lying on her hospital bed, Roona Begum almost looks likes any other two-year-old.

But her appearance today is a drastic transformation to how the toddler looked just a few months ago after her head swelled to twice its size.

These dramatic series of images chart her journey which has seen her undergo numerous operations on her skull. 

Doctors carried out her latest reconstructive surgery on Friday and the results are clear to see in these pictures taken of Roona at a hospital in New Delhi, India, on Christmas Day. 

病院のベッドに横たわるロォーナは、殆ど他の２歳児と変わらない。
数ヶ月前まは倍の大きさまで膨れ上がっていた幼児の頭部の外見は、・・・信じられぬほどの収縮を今日は見せている。
これらの劇的な映像はロゥーナが辿った数度亘る頭蓋骨手術で見せられた記録である。
金曜日（１２月２０日）、ロゥーナが医師によって最後の整形手術が執刀された結果は！・・・Ｘマスの日にニューデリーの病院で撮影された映像で鮮明（成功）となった。

Life saving operations: Roona, pictured with her mother Fatima Begum, will still have a larger than average head but she will be able to live a normal life

Roona, who lives with her impoverished parents in a village in India's remote northeast, was born with hydrocephalus, a potentially fatal condition that causes cerebrospinal fluid to build up on the brain.

She was admitted to the hospital in April and underwent several rounds of surgery in May and June when doctors drained excess fluid from her head and dramatically reduced the size of her skull to 58 centimetres. 

She spent 105 days in total at the hospital before being discharged in August.

But she returned to the same hospital earlier this month to have part of her bone removed from her skull which was then rebuilt.

JUNE: Doctors reshape Roona's skull after water on her brain which caused her skull to balloon - called hydrocephalus - had been drained leaving her disfigured

'We are trying to reduce the bulk and the weight of the head so her neck muscles can become stronger,' neurosurgeon Sandeep Vaishya told AFP after completing the latest surgery.

She will likely have to undergo another procedure early next month to compress her head further.

Although Roona's skull is likely to remain large, she has a good chance of developing normally, provided her neck muscles can grow strong enough to support her head, doctors have said.

MAY: The toddler's head has been reduced from 37ins to around 21ins through a series of life-saving surgeries

Global attention: Images showing Roona's plight, such as this one, attracted international sympathy

貧しい家庭で生まれ上に奇病！・・・多くの方々の支援で手術の運びとなり、数度の手術、最後の手術も成功裏となり，・・・めでたく、Ｘマスの日に他の幼児と殆ど変わらぬ姿をみせた。
何事にも勝る最上のＸマスの贈り物だった！と言えるでしょう。

ただ姿が見えないだけで、サンタは確かに存在します！！！・・・。

ロゥーナちゃんが健やかに成長して幸せな人生を送る事を祈ります！。
