Sagar: In a rare medical condition, a person with horn on the middle of his head was operated successfully at a private hospital here in Madhya Pradesh on Friday.
The 75-year-old Shyam Lal Yadav was diagnosed with the unique medical issue after he got an injury on his head five years ago.
Soon after the injury, a horn grew on his head. Yadav could not find any solution despite he visited several hospitals across the country.
Fed up with the disease, he finally got the horn sliced with the help of a barber. But the horn grew again on his head in a matter of time.
Even though the horn did not lead to any physical trouble, Yadav used to feel embarrassed in roaming around with the unnatural growth on his head.
Yadav finally landed at the private clinic of Dr Vishal Gajbhiye in his home town Sagar and the young surgeon finally managed to end his woes.
Dr Vishal Gajbhiye said that the four-inch horn was solid and real with sizable thickness.
The doctor carried out the CT scan to ensure that the horn wasn’t deep enough to require a Neurosurgeon. After the test, the doctor did the head surgery to remove the horn.
After the horn was removed, the surgeons used the skin of Yadav’s forehead to fill up the gap through plastic surgery.
Dr Gajbhiye said that being a rare case, he is sending the same for publication in an international medical journal and also would try to get this case included into medical education.
