The team's inaugural trip to Ghana included several complex surgeries, many of which were performed on young children. These included a 1-year-old baby boy who had untreated hydrocephalus, or a build up of fluids inside the brain that caused his head to continue to grow as an infant. Team Neuro was able to place a shunt that will help divert the fluid and decrease his head size. The team also repaired an occipital encephalocele, and a case of myelomeningocele, the most serious type of spina bifida.
