An examination to detect the emerging corona virus by the nose resulted in a hole in the lining of an American woman’s brain, which caused her cerebrospinal fluid to bleed from her nose and exposed her to the possibility of serious infection, according to what doctors said in an article published in a scientific journal on Thursday.
It is possible that the examination was performed for the 40-year-old woman in a wrong way, as well as she suffers from a problem that was not diagnosed, which means that the possibility of the Corona examinations posing a risk is very small.
But Jart Walsh, the lead author of the article in the journal Gamma and Tularology – Head and Nick Surgery, told Agence France-Presse that the woman’s case showed that health workers must follow protocols literally.
He added that people who underwent sinus surgery, for example, should request a procedure, which is to have a corona examination for them through the mouth, not the nose, if possible.
Walsh, who works at the University of Iowa Hospital, explained that the examinations that were conducted on the patient before the surgery showed that she had a hernia, and that she noticed that a clear liquid was coming out of her gills.
Walsh examined her after she had a headache, had vomiting, felt a stiff neck and was disturbed by the light.
He added that the patient believes that the corona scanner was introduced to a very high level of the operculum.
The patient was previously treated for intracranial high blood pressure, and at that time doctors used a needle to drain the fluid, and her problem was solved.
But then she developed a brain metastasis, which led to the protrusion of the lining of the brain in the nasal passages, which was not discovered before her new doctors reviewed the results of the old CT scans and conducted an operation to correct this defect in July. She has made a full recovery since then.
Dr. Walsh believed that the symptoms that appeared on the patient were due to irritation of the lining of the brain.
If the problem was not treated, she could have contracted a fatal brain infection, or perhaps the air would have entered the skull and put extra pressure on the brain.
