Rare spine condition Syringomyelia means little Millie can't stand or walk

A little girl aged one can't walk or even stand unaided due to a rare spine condition. Little Millie showed no health conditions early in life.

But it started to become clear that her motor skills weren't developing as they should. Mum Rhian Hibberd took her to see doctors and she had an MRI scan to see whether she had cerebral palsy.

The scans came back clear, but doctors noticed that Millie, from Selby, North Yorkshire, had cysts on her spine. It is a rare condition known as Syringomyelia, reports YorkshireLive.
