The Illinois woman shared how the doctors were able to reconnect her “internally decapitated” skull back to her body by performing a complicated operation.
Megan King was only 16 when she played football in 2005 and jumped to catch the ball, resulting in a fatal decline. Her spine and right ankle were damaged while the muscles on both shoulder blades suffered tears.
After spending more than a year on crutches, he expected her symptoms to retreat. But the opposite happened.
According to Dailymail report, the king saw her joints weakening, her muscles begin to tear and her shoulder blades in unbearable pain.
What happened to Megan King?
Within a few years, Megan King had to undergo 22 operations on her shoulder blades because doctors remained confused about why her body would recover.
In 2015, ten years after its autumn, the king was diagnosed with Hypermobil Ehler’s syndrome (HEDS), a genetic disorder that stops the correct production of collagen in the body, causing the joint instability.
Heads “decapitated” internally doctors perform surgery
A year later, Megan King suffered a neck dislocation, and she was equipped with a halo with a strut, a painful device that is screwed directly into the skull to move the neck.
However, the woman suffered a deadly state called the internal decapitation or dislocation of Atlanto -Ccipital (aod) when doctors tried to remove Halo strut, which led to her neck almost separated from her spine.
King was immediately rushed to an emergency surgical room, where doctors were able to combine their skull back to her spine.
“I flew my chair back to prevent gravity from decapitating me. My neurosurgeon had to hold the skull in place with my hands. I couldn’t stand. My right side shakes uncontrollably,” Dailymail’s 35 -year -old man quoted.
The king called the “horror show” surgery and said he couldn’t move his neck at all.
With 37 operations, Megan King now has her bones in her spine connecting from her skull to her pelvis. The backbone fusion involves joining two or more vertebrae (backbone) to avoid moving.
This means that the king can no longer move his head up, down, left or right.
“I’m literally a human statue. My spine doesn’t move at all. But that doesn’t mean I stopped living,” she said.
The king is now slowly returning to his hobbies and trying to lead a normal life.
Aod is a fatal disease, with a rate of mortality 90 % and is a rare condition.
