On July 25, Dong Hoi Vietnam - Cuba Friendship Hospital (Dong Hoi City, Quang Binh Province) said that it had just performed surgery and successfully removed a 7cm long nail from a patient's head.
Patient VQD (66 years old, residing in Quang Dong commune, Quang Trach district, Quang Binh province), was brought by his family to Vietnam - Cuba Friendship Hospital Dong Hoi on July 24.
When he arrived at the hospital, the patient had symptoms of dizziness and fluid discharge in the back of his head. Here, doctors did a brain scan and discovered a foreign object in the patient's brain that resembled a steel nail.
Surgery was quickly performed immediately afterward. A 7cm long steel nail was removed from patient D's brain.
According to the patient's family, Mr. D discovered a wound and bleeding in the above location nearly a year ago. But a few days later, the wound healed so he didn't go to the doctor.
Recently, Mr. D had unusual symptoms in the head area so he went to the hospital for a checkup.
Currently, the patient's health is stable and is being monitored and treated by doctors.
