Baby battling brain condition left with ‘devil horns’ following surgery (PHOTOS)

A baby born with an extremely rare condition has been left with a skull shaped like devil horns following surgery to reduce pressure on his brain.

Clyne Solane, a 22-month-old baby from the Philippines, was born with a condition called hydranencephaly, which meant he had a small brain and a skull filled with fluid.

Clyne underwent an operation in March to relieve the pressure on his brain, however due to complications with the surgery parts of his skull collapsed in the places where his brain hadn’t formed. The result was a misshapen skull with pronounced ridges that resemble devil horns.

Since then, the condition has become more pronounced and now, Clyne must undergo more surgery at the Philippines Children's Medical Center in Pasig, to reconstruct the shape of his skull. The complications of Clyne’s condition have taken a severe toll on his single mother Justine Gatarin, 21, who says she is worried he is too weak to survive another operation.

“I don't want to proceed with it for now because I am afraid that my baby is not yet strong enough,” said Gatarin to the Daily Mail. “This is why I am having a hard time making a decision. If we don't do it, his head will look like that for the rest of his life.”

Poor child. I hope he gets better and that it is fixable.
