The medical team at Al-Mouwasat Hospital in Al-Khobar ended the suffering of a 4-year-old and six-month-old child suffering from fever, stiff neck, headache, frequent vomiting, and bouts of a runny nose extending from three years back. After the medical examination and initial laboratory tests, it was confirmed that the child had acute bacterial meningitis, and this infection is the result of the child’s previous suffering from recurrent meningitis in the brain, which in turn led to his admission several times previously to intensive care in hospitals for treatment.
The child was immediately placed in the pediatric intensive care unit in the hospital and the child was treated for 14 days according to international medical protocols used in the treatment of meningitis.
After the previous successful treatment, the medical team treating the child under the supervision of Dr. Mohamed Abdel Hai, Consultant Pediatric Neurologist at Al-Mouwasat Hospital in Al-Khobar, decided to request a brain scan with CT scan and magnetic resonance imaging of the brain with dye, given the patient’s history of recurring runny nose and recurrent meningitis, which is likely to be As a result of the brain parenchyma hernia and the leakage of cerebrospinal fluid from it, and indeed the required rays have proven the hernia of the brain parenchyma through a congenital defect in the base of the skull, specifically in the area of the right sinus, which led to the emergence of an ethmoid-shaped brain in this area with a leak of cerebrospinal fluid from it, which explains the child’s suffering many years of meningitis and frequent runny nose.
Praise be to God, and his success, the child was treated, recovered, and was discharged from the hospital in good health.
It is worth mentioning that Mouwasat Medical Services Company is keen to attract qualified medical professionals and specialties while providing the latest technologies and medical equipment to provide the best health care for patients.

Al-Khobar – Mouwasat Hospital
In a remarkable achievement at the level of the Kingdom, the medical team at Mouwasat Hospital in Al-Khobar successfully removed a rare 15 cm desmoid tumor from the small bowel mesentery using advanced robotic surgical technology.
A female patient in her thirties presented with abdominal swelling. After conducting the necessary diagnostic evaluations, imaging revealed a large tumor located within the mesentery of the small intestine, which was anatomically connected to the stomach due to a previous mini-gastric bypass procedure.
The tumor was completely excised using the robotic surgical system with exceptional precision, while preserving the main arterial supply to the remaining small intestine. A classic bypass reconstruction was also performed to ensure optimal postoperative function.
Dr. Sami Al-Assari – consultant of robotic surgery, oncology, colon & rectal surgery, and bariatric surgery explained that the robotic platform significantly contributed to the success of the operation by enabling:
Desmoid tumors are rare and often challenging to remove due to their tendency to grow aggressively and adhere to surrounding tissues. This case highlights the critical role of robotic surgery in performing such delicate and complex procedures safely and effectively.
