An eight-month-old boy, who was suffering from a rare health disorder (NISCH syndrome), underwent liver transplantation at Osmania General Hospital. The boy’s mother donated a portion of her liver for the surgery.
Doctors said that only 18 cases of Neonatal Ichthyosis Cholangiohepatisis (NISCH) syndrome were reported world over, and only five patients underwent liver transplantation. This is the first case from India going for the transplant.
The boy’s parents, Premalatha, an Anganwadi worker, and Narayana, a daily wage earner, are from Jagtiyal.
