Lisa H. Faces Radical Surgery For Severe Neurofibromatosis
Philadelphia doctors led by Linton Whitaker describe a synchronized cranio facial operation for Lisa H. a 21 year old from near Philadelphia with extreme neurofibromatosis nicknamed Elephant Man's Disease. The team halted below the jaw due to blood loss but completed four fifths of the plan.
