Crayon successfully removed from brain
0 commentsTo many people having any kind of writing implement embedded in their brain would be quite an impediment, but a few people can carry out a normal life with pencils and crayons buried in their soft grey matter.
One German woman has spent the last 55 years with a pencil lodged in her lobes after falling over while running with the pencil when she was four.
"It went right through my skin – and disappeared into my head"
Doctors at the time thought removal could cause irreversible damage and left it in place. Newer technology has successfully removed the majority of it however.
Approximately three inches of pencil was removed leaving a further inch behind.
In America a man had a crayon safely removed from his cranium, having stuck it up his nose years before.
Mr H.J. Simpson also experienced a much higher I.Q. without the obstruction, although it is unknown at this time if the German woman has received the same benefits.
