Boy Born Without A Brain Dies At Age 12

A Louisiana boy who suffered from a rare condition in which he was born without a brain defied the odds he was given. KSLA reports that 12-year-old Trevor Judge Waltrip died peacefully in his sleep, after his family was told he would likely die within a year. Trevor was born with just a brain stem and a rare condition called hydranencephaly, in which sacs filled with cerebro-spinal fluid replace the cerebral hemispheres people have in their brain.
