US (Washington Insider Magazine) —A man in Vietnam went to the doctor a few days ago, suffering from severe headaches that started 5 months ago, without ever imagining what was causing them, and it is so unreal that the news has already gone around the world.
The patient, a 35-year-old man who preferred to remain anonymous, went to the Hospital of Friendship with Cuba in Dong Hoi, Vietnam, last Friday, November 24, complaining of intense headaches that he had suffered for a long time, as well as as well as fluid loss and secretion.
The doctors subjected him to several studies and one of them issued a diagnosis that indicated that he suffered from tension pneumocephalus, which occurs when there is an increase in intracranial pressure.
Upon further inspection, doctors discovered that a pair of toothpicks had gone up the man’s nose and entered his brain.
Why the patient had chopsticks embedded in his brain
The man recalled that he had been in a bar fight about 5 months earlier, around the same time he began experiencing symptoms.
While he couldn’t remember the details, he remembered being stabbed in the face; As expected, the weapon in question was chopsticks. They had been put through his nose and they entered his brain, without anyone knowing.
Finally, the patient underwent endoscopic surgery and the toothpicks were successfully removed through the nose. The man is now stable after surgery.
