Manhattan doctors help Syrian girl shot in head
December 24, 2018 - New York, New York, United States: Sheyma Tafiye (9) being treated by Plastic and Craniofacial Surgeon Dr. James Bradley at his clinic near Lenox Hill Hospital. Sheyma Nasra was 7 when she lost her 9-year-old brother and her eyesight as snipers shot up the open-roof bus her family was using to flee the city of Aleppo, in war-torn Syria, two years ago. She finally got a chance at a normal life thanks to a team of Manhattan doctors. A bullet ripped through Sheyma’s head, taking out her right eye, blinding her left one and leaving a crater in her forehead, exposing her brain. Lenox Hill Hospital plastic and craniofacial surgeon James Bradley said “her brain was in jeopardy, there was no bone on the right side of her forehead, so her brain was pulsatin. She could have had a life-threatening infection, memory loss, and other problems down the road.” Bradley and about nine other doctors at the hospital reviewed Sheyma’s case around Christmas 2017. They devised a plan to help the child, free of charge. The girl was taken care of at a hospital in Turkey. Eventually, Sheyma was granted a visa to the US, and she arrived at Lenox Hill in September 2018. During her first reconstructive surgery, doctors were surprised to discover a metal fragment of the bullet lodged where her eye had been. The girl’s mother, Baraem Nasra, 42, was able to join her in time for the second of three surgeries Dec. 10. Bradley said the surgeries are like building a house: The first procedure sets the foundation; in the second, doctors implanted balloons to expand Sheyma’s skin, and in her final operation, scheduled for February, they’ll finish closing the opening on her forehead. “We’re trying to get her back to a place where she can live a normal life,” Bradley said. The doctors had initially hoped to be able to restore at least part of Sheyma’s vision in her left eye, but her optic nerve is too damaged, so they’ll be fitting her with a prosthetic eye. At

She could have had a life-threatening infection, memory loss, and other problems down the road.” Bradley and about nine other doctors at the hospital reviewed Sheyma’s case around Christmas 2017. They devised a plan to help the child, free of charge. The girl was taken care of at a hospital in Turkey. Eventually, Sheyma was granted a visa to the US, and she arrived at Lenox Hill in September 2018. During her first reconstructive surgery, doctors were surprised to discover a metal fragment of the bullet lodged where her eye had been. The girl’s mother, Baraem Nasra, 42, was able to join her in time for the second of three surgeries Dec. 10. Bradley said the surgeries are like building a house: The first procedure sets the foundation; in the second, doctors implanted balloons to expand Sheyma’s skin, and in her final operation, scheduled for February, they’ll finish closing the opening on her forehead. “We’re trying to get her back to a place where she can live a normal life,” Bradley said. The doctors had initially hoped to be able to restore at least part of Sheyma’s vision in her left eye, but her optic nerve is too damaged, so they’ll be fitting her with a prosthetic eye. At -

December 24, 2018 - New York, New York, United States: Sheyma Tafiye (9) with her mother Baraem Nasra (42) after being treated by Plastic and Craniofacial Surgeon Dr. James Bradley at his clinic near Lenox Hill Hospital. Sheyma Nasra was 7 when she lost her 9-year-old brother and her eyesight as snipers shot up the open-roof bus her family was using to flee the city of Aleppo, in war-torn Syria, two years ago. She finally got a chance at a normal life thanks to a team of Manhattan doctors. A bullet ripped through Sheyma’s head, taking out her right eye, blinding her left one and leaving a crater in her forehead, exposing her brain.
