Krystal Rivers was born in Birmingham, Alabama, in 1994. She was born with OEIS syndrome (omphalocele, exstrophy, imperforate anus, spinal defects). Her spine was stiff and shortened, her abdominal wall was open, her bladder was too small, and many of her bones were deformed. Organs such as her kidneys and stomach were outside her body and did not function properly. Several operations followed, and at the age of one, both her hip joints had to be broken. By her teenage years, Krystal Rivers had already undergone 20 operations. Find out how she still managed to fulfil her dream of becoming a top athlete and what role paediatric surgeon Prof. Oliver Muenster played in this in the cover story of the new issue.
