Girl, 1, died from ‘gross neglect’ when doctors missed chances to treat rare condition despite parents raising concerns
A ONE-year-old girl tragically lost her life due to gross neglect after doctors missed chances to save her while in hospital, a coroner has ruled.
Eleanor Aldred-Owen was diagnosed with a rare condition known as bicoronal craniosynostosis when she was just 12 weeks old.
It meant that her sutures – the fibrous tissue joints connecting the bones of the skull – had fused prematurely, preventing normal growth and requiring surgery to alleviate the risk of pressure on her brain.
