Baby's skull was removed and 'put back together like jigsaw puzzle'

A baby girl had to have her skull removed and "put back together like a jigsaw puzzle" after a devastating diagnosis.

Jessica Owens, 32, from Fazakerley, knew something was wrong with her new-born daughter, Violet, as soon as she was born in Ormskirk Hospital. The mum-of-two noticed one of her daughter's ears was at the front of her face, and the other at the back of her head.

She also noticed Violet's head looked like it was "pushed to one side" and asked a number of people to check her over. After being told by five paediatric doctors that there was nothing wrong with her daughter, Jessica persisted and demanded somebody to give her daughter a scan on her head.
