5. Children’s Hospital of Georgia Helps Two Babies Overcome Rare Breathing Condition
Two tiny patients at Children’s Hospital of Georgia received treatment for a rare breathing condition known as a “vascular cyst” by Dr. William Carroll. “Diagnosing vallecular cysts earlier is beneficial to the baby because otherwise, the cyst can grow and cause substantial airway obstruction to the point of being a life-threatening concern for the baby. The babies with these cysts often burn more calories than they take in by trying to breathe around the cyst, so their growth is a big concern.” Learn more about this rare condition by reading the story here.
