Doctors have removed a pencil from a man’s head after he had lived with it for 15 years without knowing.
The 24-year-old man is believed to have suffered an injury in his childhood, which led to the pencil being embedded in his skull.
After years of headaches, constant colds and worsening vision in one eye, the unnamed Afghan man decided to seek medical help.
After being taken for a scan, the Aachen University Hospital, in Germany, said a 10cm pencil was found lodged from his sinus to his pharynx.
The object was also found to have injured his right eye socket.
German doctors removed the pencil, curing the man’s constant illnesses. It is reported that he has had no adverse effects from his treatment.
