British Doctors Cure Teen with Incredibly Rare Genetic Condition
A 13-year-old girl with a rare genetic condition called WILD syndrome and severe chylous ascites has become the first person in the world to be cured, thanks to a team of pioneering British doctors. After over a decade of searching for a diagnosis and treatment, Dr. Mona Mossad and her team at University Hospitals at North Midlands NHS Trust successfully located and fixed the cause of the fluid buildup in the girl's abdomen. The groundbreaking treatment involved improving her lymphatic drainage and performing challenging surgery to block lymphatic vessels in her liver, ultimately leading to her recovery and return home.
