Roundworm pulled from woman's brain leaves doctors stunned #Shorts

A neurosurgeon performing a biopsy pulled a roundworm, known as a parasite that infects snakes, from a woman's brain.

In what scientists are calling a world first, a 3-inch

worm was found alive after doctors performed

surgery on the brain of an Australian woman.

The worm was pulled from a 64-year-old woman last year, who had been suffering from symptoms including stomach pain, cough, forgetfulness and depression, according to the findings documented in a study in the Emerging Infectious Diseases Journal from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
