Knife removed from man's head after four years

A Chinese man has had a four-inch blade surgically removed from his head after four years of self-medication with painkilling injections. Mr Ni had been suffering from severe headaches for more than four years before seeking treatment for what he suspected was an aural disease. After taking X-rays of his head, doctors were shocked to find a four-inch blade lodged in his brain. "We checked his mouth, but no wound or scar has been found. It is very strange as to how the blade got into his head," said Xu Wen, deputy director of the stomatology department of the People's Hospital in Yuxi city. Mr Ni later recalled being stabbed in the lower right jaw during a fight with a robber four years ago. After that, he had suffered frequent headaches, difficulty swallowing food, a hoarse voice and had occasionally spoke gibberish. Previous hospital examinations had found no cause of the symptoms. "As time went on, I used injections to kill pain in head and ears. It has now been four years," Mr Ni said The rusty blade fortunately did not touch the brain artery nor facial nerves, keeping him narrowly alive. Mr Ni is now recovering from the operation in hospital.
