Researchers at the Massachusetts General Hospital documented a young boy born with an eye-catching condition: a red, balloon-like sac on his back.
The boy was born with a rare complication of a relatively common birth defect, one that had left open a space in his spine.
The doctors were able to successfully remove the sac with no major issue and the boy seemed to recover with no lasting developmental problems.
