Teenager with neck bent at 90 degrees shows incredible transformation following surgery
A teenager from Pakistan has had her life turned around after receiving surgery to reposition her neck.
Afsheen Gul, 13, had lived most of her life with her neck at 90 degrees after a fall at 10 months old.
The teenager, who has cerebral palsy, struggled to walk, talk, and eat.
In March, Afsheen travelled to India where Dr Rajagopalan Krishnan operated on her neck.
This video shows Afsheen before and after the surgery.
“The doctor saved my sister’s life... he is an angel,” Afsheen’s brother Yaqoob Kumbar told the BBC.
