A baby girl suffers from a rare condition which has caused her head to more than double in size.Jaya Dalvi, four months, was born with hydrocephalus - a build-up of fluid inside her skull which could kill her.It means her head was larger than average when she was born and has since grown rapidly to 71cm in circumference. Doctors say the average size for a baby girl her age is around 38cm.
Babies born with hydrocephalus require prompt surgical treatment to avoid being left permanently disabled.
But Javi's family, who live in the rural village of Valasad in Gujarat, a state in western India, can't afford to pay for the specialist care at a private hospital.
Her father, Bhavesh Dalvi, 30, is a farmer earning just £2 a day, so he and his wife Jaywanti have been forced to take the baby to a state-run medical centre....
According to the doctors, the baby's head at birth in general would be 35cm and should have grown to 38cm in four months.
Dr Manoj Patel, who often sees Jaya at Surat Hospital, said: 'If not treated in time, the disease progresses very quickly. 'The babies usually die because their brain tissues are unable to adapt to the pressure.'
