There exists a rare, completely bafflingly medical phenomenon -- which has until recently been concealed -- called hydrancephaly. To the normal materialistic Western biologist, this condition is astonishing, to say the least. In hydrancephaly, a person's cranial cavity is filled almost totally with fluid, not with brain matter. There may be only 5% or so of the brain in there; typically just the small portion on the tip of the spine. The other 95% of the brain case is filled with fluid. Yet the individual may be as normal as you or I. Except, of course, that x-rays of his head will astonish all the doctors. A few years ago, for example, such a hydrancephalic individual graduated from a university in Great Britain, with a degree in mathematics. British news actually made a video documentary on this subject, and particularly on that individual.

Anybody knows more about this illness?
If this is true, how it is possible? Is there some invisible part in human brain (soul, astral body etc..)?

er, the link you provided didnt deal with hydroencephaly.

I doubt an individual could live with this so called "hydroencephaly." But anything's possible, so maybe.

I've seen information before on people that had parts of their brain missing, and can function okay. It seems that if this occurs at an early age, or they are born with it, the brain will adapt to use what neurons it has to fill the role of those missing.

Jaxom, that is quite interesting. Could you point me to any websites on the subject? I'm gonna check this thing out i think

"The patient has a normal cerebellum and brainstem supplied by the vertebrobasilar system.
. . .
The condition is uniformly fatal; only rarely will the child survive
beyond infancy."

"There are many causes of hydrancephaly including vascular disease, infection, and trauma.
. . .
Hydrancephaly been seen in women who had blunt trauma to the abdomen during pregnancy, to women exposed to C0 at high levels during pregnancy, and after a severe viral infection.
. . .
The basal ganglia and thalamus may still be present but the cerebral cortex and white matter is represented by a pial-meningeal membrane
The brainstem and cerebellum may also be partially intact.
. . .
Infants rarely live past birth.

I find it kind of hard to believe that an infant diagnosed with hydroencphaly could graduate kindergarten, much less any type of higher education school.

On the other hand, hydrocephalus is a somewhat similar, and not terribly uncommon (0.3-2.5 per 1000), condition that is treatable. Hydrocephalus is a buildup of cerebral spinal fluid, which, in turn, increases cranial pressure. The increase in cranial pressure results in sometimes severe brain damage. But, since hydrocephalus can now be treated in utero, I don't believe that there are very many young patients that have severe brain damage from the condition.

If the supposed person recently graduated college, he or she is likely in their 20's. This sets the diagnoses back over 20 years, to the late 1970's or early 1980's. I believe that a misdiagnoses would be a safe assumption for the particular patient, especially since we don't have any type of specific information on the patient.

A conspiracy by the medical and biology fields? Sounds like a credible site. /g/
