cedure could be deduced, and
which might render needless the
removal Of the other. But the
chance was a slender one.
In the words of DR.. Cassius c.
Rogers, brain specialist:
"If an operation is performed
it will be necessary to take out
one eye at a time. If the condi-
ton of the first, under micro
scopic examination, substanti-
ates the present diagnosis, in all
probability the other will have
to be removed"
HAS BEEN CHECKED
DR.. Rogers, who has appealed
to in the crisis arising when the
baby's plight was discovered,
added:
1.-THE disease, called glioma,
is a malignancy of the brain
tissue, of which the optic nerve
is a part. In some cases the
condition has been checked
through the removal of a single
eye.
Il would advise that no opera
ton be performed pending a
positive diagnosis. Thereafter
the choice between blindness or
death for their daughter must
be made by the parents"
The child was apparently healthy
and normal in every respect at
the time of its birth. She was
christened Helaine Judith Colan
and thrived after being returned
home from the hospital.
But last week DR.. Morris HerSh-
man, the baby'S maternal grand
father, noticed something pecu-
liar about its eyes while standing
beside the cradle.
His tests indicated the baby was
suffering from the rare numerous
growth which first attacks the
retina Of the eye and spreads rap
idly through the optic nerve to
the brain, where it causes quick
death.
DR.. Hershman revealed his dis
covery to the father, but with
held the information from Mrs.
Colan, who is still recovering from
the baby's birth.
DR.. Harry Cradle, of Michael
Reese Hospital, was called into
consultation and expressed the
opinion one eye might be removed
and the other treated by X-ray
before more drastic action was
taken.
X,RAYS OF NO VALUE
DR.. Robert H. Good, formerly
of the Loyola University Medical
School, concurred in the fateful
diagnosis, and added:
THE child hasn't one chance
in a thousand to survive. It will
die whether an operation is per-
formed or not"
Seeking further advice the dis
traught father and grandfather
went to DR.. E. V. L. Brown, Spe-
cialist at the Albert Merritt Bill.
ings Memorial Hospital. DR.. Brown
weighed the evidence and said:
THE operation is vital. By all
means operate in order that the
c1ild's life may be saved"
