Man has skull removed following fungal infection from flu
A man had part of his skull removed at King's College Hospital after it was found he had developed a fungal infection which originated from flu.
Danny Elphick underwent surgery for subdural empyema in 2011 but later went on to have cranioplasty and a bespoke titanium plate fitted to cover the removed section of skull.
BBC London's Ayshea Buksh spoke to Mr Elphick, King's College Hospital's neurosurgeon Irfan Malik and craniofacial surgeon Robert Bentley.
