      Doctors at the regional children's hospital performed a unique operation, restoring mobility to a 14-year-old girl with a rare spinal pathology. The patient had weakness in her legs and difficulty moving. During the examination, the specialists found three large cysts compressing the spinal cord. Its thickness in the affected area has decreased to 2.5 millimeters, whereas normally it ranges from 1 to 1.5 centimeters.

      The operation lasted about three hours. Surgeons removed the cysts and relieved the spinal cord of pressure. A week after the intervention, the girl was discharged home, and now she is undergoing rehabilitation. According to doctors, her motor functions have been fully restored.
