"Medical Marvel: Man's Forehead Removed to Combat Invasive Tumour, Leaves Huge Dent"
Ido Simyoni, from New York, underwent lifesaving surgery after tumors invaded his forehead due to fibrous dysplasia, a condition where scar-like tissue forms instead of bone and causes benign tumors in the skull. Over the years, he had multiple surgeries to remove tumors, but the replacement bone started shrinking, causing dents in his forehead and an increased risk of brain infections. After experiencing swelling, he underwent two surgeries to remove a tumor and replace his forehead with bone from the top of his skull. Although he came close to dying, he is now recovering and has set a goal to run all six World Major Marathons in 2024.
