Explaining the condition, Saroha said it is a congenital disorder because of malformation of the brain while the foetus is developing inside the mother's womb and chances of survival of infants suffering from this condition are one percent.

'We have surgically inserted a 45-cm long shunt in the child's body, connecting his brain with the abdominal cavity, through which excessive CSF was drained into the abdominal cavity where it could be absorbed,' said Saroha.

For doctors, it was a very risky operation keeping in mind Dev's condition as patients weighing less than one kilogram are unable to survive surgeries.

'Dev's was naturally a high-risk operation,' said Saroha.

'He is now recovering well and has been discharged from the hospital. His milk intake has increased and now, at two months, he weighs over a kilogram, which is an achievement considering his earlier situation,' said Saroha.
