Hospital failed to notice 'water on the brain' of young girl, court told

The High Court has heard that a young girl suffered "devastating and permanent injuries" as a result of an alleged failure to recognise that she had developed water on the brain in the weeks and months shortly after she was born.

Ten-year-old Jade Keane, who is suing through her mother Gillian Keane of Wyatville Park Loughlinstown, Co Dublin was born at Holles Street on March 21, 2001, suffered brain damage which left her blind, wheelchair bound, and will need care for the rest of her life after she developed hydrocephalus which also known as "water on the brain".
