It happened all of a sudden
A family discovered their baby boy had a "ticking time bomb" inside him days after returning from holiday. Lyndsey Rowe felt something wasn't right when she noticed Mason, who was nine months old at the time, wasn't crawling properly.
"We were sat on the floor together playing. When I went to move further away from him usually he would crawl to me, and he just lay down instead. He was trying to move towards me but only with his left arm. Following an MRI scan the family was told Mason had suffered a stroke as a result of abnormal blood vessels - called cavernomas - in his brain. Lyndsey and Mason's brother Leo have also previously suffered from seizures as a result of the condition, which can sometimes run in families.
Mason underwent surgery on April 18, which was successful in removing the first cavernoma. The 16-month-old is set to undergo a second operation on May 18.
