Mum who noticed her baby's head was measuring 'off the charts' handed shocking diagnosis

A baby's brain tumour was diagnosed when she was just 12 weeks old after her mum noticed unusual symptoms. Corinne Wardle, a nurse, began to notice some odd changes in her daughter Molly Wardle-Hampton.

She spent months documenting Molly's symptoms - including a growth in the soft spots of her head which was the most prominent. Corinne, 38, also noted a fixed eye gaze, a tilt to one side of her head and patterns of vomiting.

Worried her daughter's head was measuring "off the charts", the mum-of-three took her in for tests - where it was revealed she had an ependymoma tumour on her brain. Luckily the tumour was caught in time and Molly had surgery for it to be removed - and her most recent MRI scan shows no new growth.
