Woman Undergoes Brain Surgery to Remove Tumor, and Even the Doctors Were Stunned

[Gut4Tennis]

A Ph.D. student at Indiana University knew something was wrong when she started experiencing problems with reading and listening comprehension. It got so bad that she “wouldn’t understand what was happening” when a couple of people were just “talking in a room.”

Yamini Karanam, 26, said doctors eventually determined she had a tumor in her brain, and plans were made to surgically remove the growth. But doctors made an extremely rare discovery in the process.

Surgeons at the Skull Base Institute in Los Angeles had to reach deep inside Karanam’s brain to remove the tumor, and instead discovered a teratoma —-----

---the woman’s actual “embryonic twin,” equipped with bone, hair and teeth.

Imagine being trapped inside somebody else's brain for, like, 26 years, dude. Totally sucks, man.

oh dear, my sides are hurting.

That would be a very small space, so yes, the trauma would be tremendous.

I feel this way when I peruse Sureshs bionic posts.

Can't imagine the doctors were really stunned as a teratoma is usually apparent from X-rays. And no, it is not one's "embyonic twin." It's basically a small bunch of what would become skin cells that got folded into the inside of one's body during embryogenisis. The tissues you see in teratomas -- skin, teeth, rudimentary eyeballs, hair -- all form from the same layer of cells that become the embryo's skin. So it's basically just skin cells that didn't differentiate the way they were supposed to, and wound up inside rather than outside the body.

reminds me of the cranberries song

In your head
In your head
Zombie zombie zombie ei ei
What's in your head
In your head.
Zombie, zombie, zombie ei, ei, ei, oh do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do
