Surgeons shocked to find nuts, bolts and jewellery inside woman's stomach
Posted November 16th, 2018, 10:43 AM IST
Doctors in Ahmedabad were shocked when they removed 1.5 kilos of nuts, bolts and jewellery from a Mumbai woman’s stomach. The procedure to extract objects including zippers and hairpins took around three hours as they had to operate immediately since a safety pin had punctured her stomach wall.
The forty-something woman is believed to have a rare psychological condition called acuphagia which people consume sharp objects. Apart from the large lump which had made her stomach rock-hard, safety pins were seen protruding from her lungs.
Authorities have been unsuccessful in tracking down the woman’s relatives while she has been kept under observation and is stable now.
