The epileptic seizures begin

Nayala is being examined at the children's hospital

The finding: Nayala has a very rare disease, she suffers from lissencephaly, a so-called smooth brain.

Lissencephaly is the result of a migratory disorder of neurons in the brain. The consequences are an unforeseeable development. Almost all children with lissencephaly suffer from epilepsy. There are also other symptoms, such as difficult eating and psychomotor restrictions. Affected children need round-the-clock care and special therapies to alleviate the symptoms of the brain malformation.
