Srinagar, Feb 18 : In a rare and unusual medical procedure, doctors at the MMABM Associated Hospital GMC Anantnag successfully removed a large, snake-like worm from the nostril of an adolescent boy on Tuesday.
The boy had presented to the ENT department with a tail-like object protruding from his nostril. Upon examination, Dr Kishan, an ENT specialist, suspected the presence of a large worm inside the boy's nose. After discussing the case with Dr Aamir, the Head of the ENT Department, a suction procedure was carried out, leading to the extraction of the long, snake-like worm.
The extracted specimen will be sent to the forensics laboratory for further examination to determine its exact nature, the spokesman confirmed.
This rare case has garnered attention due to the bizarre nature of the worm's presence inside the boy’s nasal passage. [KNT]
