Doctors perform 1st-of-its-kind brain surgery on a fetus in the womb

For the first time, doctors surgically repaired a malformed blood vessel in a baby’s brain while she was still in the womb. The baby, born in mid-March, was discharged from the hospital a few weeks after birth and has not required any medications or other treatments since then.

“I heard her cry for the first time and that just, I — I can’t even put into words how I felt at that moment,” Kenyatta Coleman of Baton Rouge, Louisiana, the baby’s mother, told CNN. “It was just, you know, the most beautiful moment being able to hold her, gaze up on her and then hear her cry.”
