University Hospital Brno

University Hospital Brno (pictured) doctors have delivered the child of a mother who suffered brain death in the 16th week of pregnancy after 117 days of keeping the mother's body alive, the doctors detailed the August 15 procedure at a press conference on September 2, 2019, in Brno, Czech Republic. The doctors noted that the case shows the immense strength of the baby, named Eliska by the mother at the start of her pregnancy, as well as the mother's body. With the doctor's help, the 27-year-old woman was able to give birth with the use of a caesarean section even though she suffered brain death before June 1 as a result of a massive brain hemorrhage due to a blood vessel malformation. Eliska now weighs 2,130 grams and reaches 42 centimeters in length. There are only 20 such known cases from around the world. The Brno case is unique due to the length of successful hospitalisation, which was 117 days, and in the health and advanced development of the baby. (CTK Photo/Vaclav Salek)
