Why is Lorna Begum called a big-headed doll?

Speaking of "big-headed dolls", I believe many people are familiar with it. The "big-headed doll incident" occurred in China, but today we are not talking about that incident, but the Indian big-headed doll Lorna Begum. Its head is a bit ridiculously big, with a head circumference of nearly 1 meter. It looks like an alien. Let me introduce this Indian big-headed doll to you.

A baby girl named Lorna Begum in India is a famous Indian big-headed doll. She comes from a remote area in northeastern India and comes from a poor family. She was born with hydrocephalus and had a headache. The circumference once reached 94 centimeters, and the head was three times larger than that of a normal child. It looked like an alien and was called a "big-headed doll."

But the poor family cannot pay for her treatment. Her 26-year-old father, Abdul Rahman, works in a brick factory and earns 19 yuan a day. The whole family is in a desperate situation waiting for death. Fortunately, Fortis Healthcare Group came to the rescue. In the end, Lorna Begum died unfortunately when she was preparing to undergo a new round of surgery. She was only 5 years old.
