Surgeons remove 1.5kg lump of metal from Indian woman's stomach
In a bizarre medical case, doctors at Ahmedabad’s Civil Hospital in western India retrieved 1.5kg of metal objects from a woman's stomach.
Reportedly the woman, Sangita, was found in a 'bad mental state' in Shahrkotda area in the city of Ahmedabad and after a court order, she was admitted to the Government Hospital for Mental Health. When she complained of constant stomach pain, she was transferred to the civil hospital on October 31.
Doctors diagnosed the woman, who was in her 40s, was suffering from acuphagia, a rare disorder where a person is forced to eat metals and other non-edible items.
Dr Nitin Parmar, a senior surgeon and his team at the Civil Hospital took two hours to operate on Sangita to discover the source of her
stomach pain.
He said, “The woman’s stomach had become hard-rock. The x-ray revealed a large lump in her stomach with safety pins protruding from her lungs. One pin had even punctured her stomach wall prompting us to immediately operate upon her.”
The patient also underwent a x-ray after the surgery to reassure that all metal pieces were removed from her stomach.
Arpan Nayak, a psychiatric social worker at the Government Hospital for Mental Health said that Sangita is under observation, and her brother in Shirdi has been informed. “However, her family is hesitating to take her as earlier, she fled her home three times,” said Nayak.
