Girl born without a forehead undergoes pioneering 3D surgery to fill hole after brain 'split through skull'

A seven-year-old girl born with a huge hole in her forehead has undergone pioneering surgery to fill it - using 3D printed technology. Grace Kabelenga had surgery at four years old to correct her craniofacial abnormality - but a large section of her skull was removed to prevent infection.

As a result Grace from Ndola, Zambia, has never been to school and is not allowed to play with other children as she is desperately prone to infections.
