Boy, 9, rushed into major surgery after complaining of headaches

A nine-year-old boy was rushed to hospital after complaining of headaches in the run-up to Christmas.

Henri Brammer underwent major surgery after doctors found "a ball of pus" on his brain. When the schoolboy first began suffering headaches last December, his mum Carly initially put them down to festive excitement.

But when he began to complain of eye pain and became lethargic, Carly knew something was wrong. She took Henri to hospital in Stoke on December 19 and a CT scan showed he needed major surgery.
