REVEALED: Girl 10 had headache for two weeks before she was induced into coma | Rare Historical Photos

A girl had part of her skull sewn into her stomach in one of a number of brain surgeries after falling unexpectedly ill.

Isabella Calvert had experienced headaches for around two weeks and doctors first thought she could have a sinus infection. On October 30 parents Michael and Sarah found the 10-year-old was very warm so were advised by NHS 111 to take her to Bangor Hospital.

At first no one was too concerned about Isabella's condition - but a CT scan showed there was an extraordinary amount of pressure around her brain. She was induced into a coma and rushed to Alder Hey Children's Hospital where she has remained since.
