Birth of baby weighing 5.5 Kgs. Mother and child healthy.
The average birth weight of a new born baby is around 2.8 Kgs. It is not unusual to be born with 2.5 to 3.5 Kgs weight. But a baby with 5.5 Kgs birth weight is quite unusual and is born at GSL General Hospital, Rajahmundry.
Birth weight of 6.2 Kgs was reported from Libia – a world record. Birth of a child with 5.5 Kgs is quite rare and unusual in Indian scenario – expressed Dr.V.Sarojin Professor of Gyn and Obstetrics, GSL Gen. Hospital, Rajahmundry.
Smt. Karimi Devi aged about 20 years resident of Pera Ramachandrapuram near Anaparthi of East Godavari District gave birth to this child with rare birth weight. She was admitted with labor pains of one day duration. And because of overweighing baby a caesarian section became inevitable – Dr Sraojini reiterated.
The father of this child is an auto driver and their earlier issue was also a over weighing baby of 4 Kgs at the time of birth.
It is common to have over weight babies in diabetic parents. But the baby’s parents are not diabetics. There are no specific reasons to assign for over birth weight in this case.The caesarian surgery was contemplated by team of Doctors – Dr.K.Bharatha Lakshmi, Dr.J.V.Rao, Dr. Karthiki. The mother and newborn are under observation. They do not present any health problem and after satisfactory recovery mother and baby will be discharged from the hospital.
The surgery is performed free of cost under “Janani Suraksh Scheme” added Dr.Lakshmi Prasad, Chief Executive officer, GSL General Hospital, Rajahmundry.

GSL GENERAL HOSPITAL, RAJAHMUNDRY - EXCISION OF LARGE RETRO-ORBITAL TUMOR – CAUSING SEVERE PROTRUSION OF LEFT EYE BALL AND DIMINISHED VISION
Madida Ramakishna male aged 40 yrs resident of Turpupalem (v), Malkipuram Mandal, Amalapuram developed severe protrusion and diminished vision of left eye.
He consulted several doctors and no surgery was attempted. He attended to GSL General Hospital attached to GSL Medical College, Rajahmundry where intra orbital tumor was diagnosed and was operated by neurosurgeon Dr.Phanikumar.
Post operatively the tumor biopsy suggestive of tumor arising from lacrimal gland. The critical stage of surgery is that the tumor was operated through cranial approach by pushing brain towards midline and cutting bony roof plate of orbit. The tumor was found to be occupying 3/4th of orbital cavity, eroding orbital roof and penetrating into cranial cavity.
Had it been not operated, the possible transformation of growth into malignancy might erode extensively the orbital cavity, displacing or penetrating brain substance, resulting in possible paralysis, complete loss of vision in left eye and eventual death from brain damage.
The surgery took around 6 hours on 13 th april and after surgery there is cosmetic improvement and improvement in vision. He is to be discharged in 3or 4days
A major health catastrophe is averted due to timely planned surgery, reiterated Dr.Ganni Bhaskara Rao, Chairman, GSL Medical College.
