A GIRL born with spina bifida died aged four after suffering a severe brain condition, an inquest heard.
Doncaster Coroner’s Court was told Sydney Megson had undergone surgery at just a day old for the condition after being born prematurely.
She was treated by the community paediatric team in Rotherham, Sheffield Children’s Hospital and at her local GP surgery, Brinsworth Medical Centre, during her short life.
The medical cause of death was given as chronic hydrocephalus, of which one symptom can be an enlarged head, with the inquest told the little girl’s head had not been measured for more than two years by any of the services treating her.
