A mum-of-two has been diagnosed with a potentially fatal brain condition - more than two years after a hospital failed to spot a tumour.
Samia Tahir, 36, attended Wythenshawe hospital with a severe headache, vomiting and a swollen face in 2017. The mum, from Altrincham, had undergone a CT scan at the hospital in March 2015 but a non-cancerous tumour wasn’t picked up. This was despite her having complained of headache, fear of light and blurred vision beforehand.
She was only 31 when she was given a heartbreaking diagnosis two years later - hydrocephalus, a build-up of excess fluid which puts pressure on the brain.
