Hayley Erbert Hough, wife of 'Dancing with the Stars' judge Derek Hough, recently underwent an emergency craniectomy following a diagnosis of a cranial hematoma. The condition, which involves a collection of blood within the skull, creates pressure on the brain and necessitates the removal of a part of the skull to alleviate this pressure.
Erbert's condition came to light after she became disoriented following a performance in Maryland. She was immediately taken to the hospital where the diagnosis was made and the emergency surgery performed. The recovery period following such a procedure can span several months and may require occupational and physical therapy if neurological problems persist.
Derek Hough expressed his gratitude to the first responders and medical personnel involved in his wife's care and requested prayers and positivity during this challenging time. The couple, who got married in August, had been on tour together since October for Hough's Symphony of Dance Tour.
This is not the first time Erbert has faced a health scare. She was involved in a car accident with Hough last year. Despite these challenges, the couple's professional and personal journey continues to inspire many. They met on 'Dancing With the Stars' and began dating in 2015.
The news of Erbert's surgery has elicited well wishes from across the entertainment industry, including from Xochitl Gomez, the winner of the latest season of 'Dancing With the Stars'.
