"Unbelievable: Russian Woman Survives 80 Years with Needle Lodged in Brain"

An 80-year-old Russian woman has been living with an inch-long needle in her brain since birth, likely due to a failed infanticide attempt by her parents during times of famine. The needle was discovered during an x-ray scan in 2023 and has been in her left parietal lobe all her life. Despite the presence of the needle, she has never experienced headaches, and doctors have decided not to remove it to avoid worsening her condition. The woman is being monitored by a physician, and her health is not at risk.
