malformalady: Jamie Hilton spent 42 days after life-saving brain surgery, with a quarter of her skull ‘living’ in her stomach. The 36-year-old’s brush with death came after she stumbled and hit her head on a fishing trip. She was taken unconscious to hospital where doctors found her brain had swollen. They decided to remove a quarter of her skull to ease the swelling and put it inside her stomach to keep it sterile and nourished.
