Despite US and EU Sanctions Syrian Doctors Perform a Rare Brain Surgery

Despite a strangling sanctions regime and a complete blockade by the inhumane hypocrite western countries, a team of Syrian doctors at Al Mujtahid Hospital in Damascus performed brain surgery on a 6-years old with Rasmussen’s Encephalitis, a very rare autoimmune disorder — that targets mostly children aged 2-10.



The meticulous and delicate operation was led by Dr. Tarfa Baghdadi and included the removal of one half of the brain decreases seizure activity by an average of 80% — one study found 96% of fifty-two patients seizure-free.

He described the young patient who presented with “left flank discomfort” and whose only significant past medical history included three years of anxiolytics for management of panic attacks accompanied by headaches and palpitations, including bouts of tachycardia (a rapid heart rate, though in normal sinus rhythm).

The patient was admitted for a full work up. Due to the economic blockade against Syria, the upper gastrointestinal endoscope only went as far as the 3rd duodenum segment.
