According to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention “Encephalocele is described as a sac – like protrusion or projection of the brain and the membranes that cover it come through an opening in the skull. Encephalocele happens when the neural tube does not close completely during pregnancy.”

There are lots of operations Ollie Trezise needs to undergo in the future.

He needs to be operated to help him breathe and open his nasal passageway. The surgery will prevent him from getting infections or meningitis.

Ollie underwent his first operation in November of 2014.
