Boy, who began suffering from persistent headaches after testing positive for Coronavirus and doctors mistakenly assumed he had migraines caused by long-Covid, was given a heart-breaking diagnosis

The 15-year-old boy, who began suffering from persistent headaches after testing positive for Coronavirus and doctors mistakenly assumed he had migraines caused by long-Covid, was given a heart-breaking diagnosis. Doctors later discovered that the young child has a potentially deadly brain tumour after initially misdiagnosed him as having long Covid.

The 15-year-old boy, Kane Allcock, began suffering from persistent headaches after testing positive for coronavirus in December 2021. His parents took him to the hospital and the tests reportedly failed to detect any problems. Unfortunately, the doctors mistakenly assumed he had migraines caused by long Covid, the Daily Mail reports. Just few weeks later, the child began to suffer more severe headaches and even struggled to walk. The doctors did an MRI scan which revealed Allcock had acute hydrocephalus, a build-up of pressure on the brain caused by excess cerebrospinal fluid. The doctors also discovered the the boy had a large tumour. The young boy also underwent a 8-hour surgery to remove the tumour and is now recovering.

During an interview with the Daily Mail, Kane’s mother Nicki, reportedly said: “We took him to a nearby walk-in centre. They did a full examination and concluded that he may have been suffering from post-Covid vertigo and he was given codeine. But the following day, Kane was feeling too poorly to play football, so we took him home and they went straight to A&E. I knew something wasn’t right. Kane was holding his head and rocking in agony. He couldn’t walk properly. They did some blood tests and put him on oxygen and IV pain relief. The next day, Kane had a seizure, and was sent for an MRI scan of his brain which revealed the tumour.”

On 19 April, he went into theatre and thankfully, Kane’s amazing surgeon managed to remove it all. Kane was discharged just four days after the operation, but on 25 April, he had a wound leak, which meant another trip back to Alder Hey, where he had a couple of extra stitches added. The wound continued to leak and during a routine follow up appointment on 27 April, it was decided Kane needed to go back into surgery to re-suture the wound. It didn’t end there, because they also discovered his hydrocephalus had flared up again and he had to have a spinal drain inserted to fix that.”
