Baby girl diagnosed with brain tumour after being pronounced 'perfectly healthy' by medics

A furious mum has blasted doctors who repeatedly missed her baby daughter's brain tumour - despite videos showing the tot suffering seizures. Esmai Wright is now battling 50/50 odds of survival after she was sent home from hospital several times despite suffering multiple seizures.

Mum Chloe Wright, 26, said she was given a "different diagnosis" every time they went to A&E before being sent on their way and told to wait for a referral letter. Chloe was assured her daughter was "perfectly healthy" even though she was "vacant behind her eyes".

The tot was finally diagnosed with a rare and aggressive anaplastic ependymoma tumour the size of a grapefruit. Disturbing videos show baby Esmai suffering a seizure just hours after doctors dismissed her mum’s fears that she was unwell.
