印度13歲男孩脖子極度彎曲 術後終可正常看世界

A schoolboy who lived with his head hanging to one side is finally able to see the world 'straight' after life-changing surgery.

在接受了一場改變人生的手術之後，一名頭部倒向一側的男生終於能夠正視這個世界了。

Mahendra Ahirwar, 13, has a rare condition that made his neck muscles so weak his head hung at a 180-degree angle.

13歲的馬亨德拉·阿伊瓦患有一種罕見的疾病，這使得它的頸部肌肉因缺乏承託力，而導致其頭部倒轉180度懸垂着。

His crocked neck meant Mahendra was restricted to just sitting as he was unable to stand or walk and needed help to eat and go to the toilet.

他這歪着的頸部意味着馬亨德拉不能筆直坐着，因爲他沒法站立或走路，他吃飯和上衛生間都需要幫助。

But Mahendra's life has been transformed thanks to a stranger, mother-of-two Julie Jones living 4,000 miles away in Liverpool who read his story and raised 12,000 pound for an operation to straighten his neck.

然而，多虧了一位陌生人，馬亨德拉的人生髮生了轉變。一位居住在4000英里外的利物浦、有着兩個孩子的母親朱莉·瓊斯在閱讀完關於他的報道之後，籌集了12000英鎊來爲他做頸部矯正手術。

Now the Mahendra can do the same things other boys his age can - like go to school.

現在，馬亨德拉已經能夠和其他同齡男孩子做相同的事情了--比如說去上學。

His dad Mukesh, 41, told MailOnline: 'It's a miracle! He looks great. His neck is straight; and his life is so very different.'

他41歲的父親穆克什在接受《每日郵報》採訪時表示：“這是個奇蹟！他看起來很好。他的頸部變直了，他的生活也因此而截然不同。”

'He's in a good place. It was heart breaking to see him before. We were on the brink of losing him. When his neck was bent he was too shy to speak but now he feels like a normal person and we can see his confidence levels growing. '

“他很幸運。看到他以前的樣子真是令人心碎。我們也在失去他的邊緣上。在他的脖子還是彎曲的時候，他很害羞，不敢說話，但是現在他感覺自己像個正常人了，我們能夠看到他的自信水平在增加。”

'He is very happy now. He says he can feel the difference and he loves it.'

“他現在很開心。他說他感受到了差別，他很喜歡這樣。”
