Liverpool Toddler Receives Innovative Prosthetic Eye After Rare Cancer Diagnosis

Doctors at Alder Hey Children's Hospital used advanced imaging techniques to create a custom prosthetic for 20-month-old Nuala Mulholland.

Nuala Mulholland was diagnosed with alveolar soft part sarcoma, a rare tissue tumor, at 10 months old.
Traditional prosthetic methods were avoided to spare Nuala from multiple anesthetics.
The prosthetic was designed using MRI, CT scans, and photographs for precise fitting and color matching.
Nuala's parents opted for eye removal over radiotherapy due to potential long-term effects.
The toddler has adapted well to her new prosthetic, demonstrating remarkable resilience.
