NEW HYDE PARK, N.Y. (AP) - Doctors probed deep into the center of a 3-year-old girl's brain to save her from her own laughter.
Anastasia Lagalla's uncontrollable laughter and seizures were part of an extremely rare condition that could have led to mental retardation, but doctors announced Thursday that surgery to remove a tumor causing the problem had been successful.
"It's like I have my little girl back," said Ana's mom, Jennifer Anderson of Ridge, N.Y., who beamed as she told reporters Thursday of her daughter's recovery. "She's doing amazing."
