A baby boy's head has swollen to more than three times its normal size due to a medical condition.




Emon was delivered by C-section with a slightly bigger head than usualOver two years it grew so big it now weighs as much as a 1-year-old boy,Has been diagnosed with hydrocephalus - build up of fluid on the brainLeft untreated it carries risk of brain damage and developmental issues


Two-year-old Emon, from southern Bangladesh, has a head that weighs 20 lbs (9kg) - the same weight as an average one-year-old boy.

Emon was delivered by Caesarean section with a head that was slightly bigger than usual, but in the past two years it continued to expand.
The huge weight of his head leaves the toddler unable to talk, walk or even move his limbs - meaning his parents have to take care of him constantly.
