To one German,
59 years old, a pencil was removed from the head, due to which for
almost a lifetime it suffered from severe headache and nosebleeds.
When she was four years old, Margaret Vegner fell and a pencil in her hand stuck in her head.
"The pen pierced the skin and just disappeared in my head," she told German newspaper Bild, adding that the pencil passed very close to vital parts of the brain.
At that time, no one dared to operate, but the technology had made enough progress in the meantime allowing physicians to remove the pen from her head.
During an operation carried out at a private clinic in Berlin, the patient was taken out of the skull most of the pencil about eight centimeters long. The tip of the pencil, about two centimeters in length, however, was so tightly adhering to the surrounding tissue that it was impossible to remove it.
