" A British baby is thought to have become the youngest patient to undergo an operation using glue to reduce the size of a brain tumour. Madison Quartarone was only a week old when doctors carried out the procedure at London&amp;#039;s Great Ormond Street Hospital. The baby was found to have a large, benign tumour in her brain and glue was used to block vessels supplying it - thereby effectively starving it of nutrients. Scans after the operation revealed the tumour had shrunk and Madison - now eight weeks old - was able to spend Christmas with her mother. Dominic Thompson, the neurosurgeon who carried out the delicate procedure, said he did not think there had been an example of a younger infant undergoing the operation. &amp;#039;If successful, it could be groundbreaking,&amp;#039; he told the Bedfordshire on Sunday newspaper. &amp;#039;Madison is not out of the woods yet but she does look remarkably well.&amp;#039; Ian Chandler, the baby&amp;#039;s grandfather, added: &amp;#039;What we are hoping for now is that the tumour continues to shrink. I think we would know by now if it was still growing. &amp;#039;Madison has amazed absolutely everybody. She underwent seven operations in the first seven weeks of her life but now she is putting weight on and suffering all the problems that other babies have, like trapped wind and colic.&amp;#039; Doctors claim Madison was born with an obviously swollen head, making it easier to spot the presence of the tumour.
