Imagine you are suffering through a mind-splitting headache and go to the doctor¡¯s to find out why your head is causing you such excruciating pain. Would you be utterly shocked to find out that the cause behind the pain you are suffering is a bunch of chopsticks somehow stuck in your brain? Well, for one man this nightmare came true.
Who Suffered The Bizarre Pain?
A 35-year-old man in Vietnam, who has not been identified as of yet, experienced the severe headaches.
What Happened?
The Vietnam native found out that he had chopsticks lodged inside his brain after five months of suffering these excruciating headaches. On November 25th, the man reported at the Cuba Friendship Hospital in Dong Hoi. The Metro revealed that the man also suffered fluid discharge and fluid loss.
Why Was The Man Suffering From Such Pain?
After the experts at the hospital had a look at the man¡¯s CT scans, they concluded that he was suffering from tension pneumocephalus. It is a rare but can be a life-threatening neurological condition. The condition can result in a dangerous increase in intracranial pressure.
After looking at the man¡¯s brain, the doctors found that he was suffering from the condition because of the pair of chopsticks that were stuck inside his brain through his nose. The Head of the Department of Neurosurgery, Dr. Nguyen Van Man, claimed that the case was ¡°very rare¡± indeed.
How Did The Chopsticks End Up In His Brain?
While the man was at first perplexed to know that he had chopsticks stuck in his brain, he soon recalled that he had been involved in a fight five months ago while out drinking. The man did not remember much from the altercation, only that someone had stabbed him with an unknown object.
Fortunately, the hospital was able to help the man and remove the chopsticks through endoscopic surgery.
