An English woman living in Australia left medics astounded after they found an 8cm worm living in her brain.
The unnamed woman, 64, was living in New South Wales, Australia when she first started to complain of her symptoms.
Tests originally came back inconclusive until eventually she received a diagnosis of pneumonia originating from an undisclosed source and was prescribed steroids. But she returned again the following year in January 2022, after her symptoms developed into forgetfulness and depression.They then had to operate on the woman’s brain where they came across a “string-like structure” within the lesion, which turned out to be a roundworm, which measured 8cm in length and 1mm in diameter.
