Des médecins découvrent des « corps étrangers » choquants à l’intérieur de la poitrine, du bassin, de la vessie et du pénis d’un homme
A man's visit to the hospital took a strange turn when tests revealed several "foreign bodies" lodged in his heart, abdomen, pelvis, bladder, and even his penis.
Doctors suspect that the man himself put the foreign objects into his body.
This strange case occurred in a hospital in China, where the man sought treatment for discomfort when urinating and for blood in his urine.
For the most part, he appeared to be in good health. The 35-year-old man's vital signs were stable, and he had no other symptoms or obvious signs of distress.
However, doctors noticed something unusual during an imaging exam: a shadow-like shape near his heart.
Desiring a more thorough examination, they ordered a contrast-enhanced CT scan. The test offered a shocking surprise, revealing several "needle-shaped metallic foreign bodies" scattered inside her body.
Perhaps the most worrying thing was a 1.4-inch pin that had pierced the fluid-filled sac surrounding his heart, called the pericardium.
How the needles got there remained a mystery.
The man, who had a history of intellectual disability, could not explain it, and neither could his father, who was providing him with legal assistance.
But there was a clue. Two years earlier, doctors at another hospital had removed two foreign objects from the man's abdomen.
This story led them to suspect that the man was stabbing himself, a form of non-suicidal self-harm where people deliberately insert foreign objects into their bodies, such as glass, staplers, paper clips, and wire.
Although rare, this disturbing practice has been documented for decades. One of the earliest known cases dates back to 1936, when serial killer Albert Fish was discovered with nearly 30 needles embedded in his groin, as well as additional needles in his abdomen.
The patient in China was already facing a life-threatening situation. The needle near his heart posed a serious risk, but removing other needles could also cause significant damage.
Ultimately, they chose to focus first on the most dangerous object.
Surgeons successfully removed an intact black metal needle from the patient's pericardium, discovering that it was corroded — a sign that it had remained inside his body for a long time.
Doctors found no obvious entry wounds or scars on the man's chest that would explain how the object got there.
After the operation, the man's heart function dropped as he battled an injury already caused by the needle, as well as the stress of the operation.
The patient was discharged from the hospital nine days after the operation, and at a follow-up appointment nine months later, he was still clinically stable and his cardiac function had recovered.
As for the other needles scattered over his body, the doctors preferred to monitor them closely rather than risk complications by removing them immediately.
