African children are addicted to sniffing glue. When superglue gets on your hands, it's painful to remove it. But an infant has been saved when doctors used superglue to cure its brain aneurysm.
The traumatic hemorrhage suffered by the infant is typically for someone much older. Aneurysms should take years to develop, but this infant was afflicted with the disease 3 weeks after a birth without complications.
As infant-sized tools were not made to treat this kind of illness, there were no tools fit for usage to save Ashlyn Julian from her olive-sized aneurysm, which was causing her brain to bleed.
The doctors first inserted a tiny catheter into a blood vessel in the infant's right hip, the tiny catheter served as a method to deliver the superglue into infant's body to stop the bleeding.
The tiny catheter then traveled up the body, to her neck and ultimately to the infant's tiny brain. The doctors then worked to get the catheter near to the aneurysm and at once deposited sterile surgical superglue on the blood vessel. The infant's aneurysm was blotched up within seconds by the superglue. The superglue internal cast stopped the bleeding.
"It's literally the same compound as the superglue you'd find in the store," Dr. Koji Ebersole, the neurosurgeon at the hospital, said of the infant superglue.
The infant superglue procedure took less than 45 minutes to complete. Doctors believe that this might have been the first case in which superglue was used to cure an infant's aneurysm.
"I think she's going to have a perfectly normal life," claimed Dr. Ebersole.
