Amazing medical case

A three-year-old girl had a hemispherectomy to treat Rasmussen syndrome. This X-Ray was taken in 2002 after she had turned seven. 
The right hemisphere of her brain, which was completely removed, contained the language center and motor control for the left side of her body, and today she has very minor issues controlling her left arm and leg. However, she is fully bilingual in Turkish and Dutch and leads an otherwise normal life.
