12-year-old diagnosed with rare condition after severe stomach pain; surgery saves life

When his 12-year-old daughter, Devna, complained of stomach pain earlier this month, Dubai resident Anoop thought it was a case of constipation. However, when the pain got so bad that she was unable to sleep, he knew that something was not right.


“She was crying in pain and was complaining she could not pass stool,” he said, speaking to Khaleej Times. “She was also vomiting. We took her to a nearby clinic, where the doctor asked us to rush her to the hospital.”


At Aster Hospital, Sharjah, laparoscopic specialist and general surgeon Dr Sandeep Tandel examined the child and noticed that she was unable to lie on the examining table. “She said that she was in excruciating pain, and I immediately knew that the problem was serious, so I sent her for a CT scan,” he said.
