Woman Had Two Teeth in Her Eye For 23 Years
'I lived with two TEETH inside my EYE for 23 years': Doctors stunned by bizarre discovery inside woman's tumour Warning: Graphic content - Doctors operating on a tumour in Nagabhushanam Siva’s left eye were stunned to find the two fully-formed teeth embedded inside Tragic: The removal of the tumour has sadly left Nagabhushanam blind Cover Asia Press An Indian woman has had two teeth removed… from her EYE. Doctors operating on a tumour in Nagabhushanam Siva’s left eye were stunned to find the two fully-formed teeth embedded inside. The 23-year-old said: “I was born with an abnormal left eye and it continued to swell over the years. “My family was too scared to send me to see a doctor and during the last few years it has grown much bigger. “I had blurred vision so eventually I consulted a doctor for help.” Horrific: The huge tumour forced Nagabhushanam's eye inside the socket, blurring her vision Nagabhushanam was diagnosed with Teratoma by doctors at a government hospital in Chennai, southern India. The tumour had pushed her eye inside its socket and protruded the skin, blocking her vision and partially damaging the optic nerve. The growth also left her unable to move her eyeball and had developed lazy eye syndrome. Doctors said they had seen a few past cases of Teratoma with tooth-like tissues embedded in the tumour, but fully formed teeth were very rare. Hospital Director, Dr K Vasantha, said: “A Teratoma is a mass of tissue that contains cysts and sometimes contains hard tissues but fully grown teeth is so very rare.” Fear: Nagabhushanam's family were too scared to take her to a doctor The removal of the tumour caused severe damage to Nagabhushanam's optic nerve which has tragically left her permanently blind. “Because it was left untreated all these years the tumour was allowed to grow to extraordinary lengths. That resulted in the optic nerve damage,” Dr Vasantha added. Orbital Teratomas are rare embryonic tumors composed of tissues that grow in the attempt to form an organ. The first case of this condition was reported 149 years ago. Only 70 such cases have been found worldwide ever since. http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/weird-n...er-eye-1240446 TRYING TO GET PICTURES TO POST! If anyone wants to help, please let me know.
