Several people have long term health issues which they tend to take lightly without considering the grave possibilities behind them. These seemingly minor problems may at times turn out to be shocking conditions which a person can’t possibly imagine.
A bleeding nose can mean many things but what it revealed in a case from China is the last thing anyone can think of. A woman believed that an inflammation of the nose membrane was the cause for the constant nosebleeds that she suffered for decades.
But she was shocked when a scan revealed that she had a tooth growing in her nasal cavity. Even the doctors first suspected the circular object in her nose to be a stone when they saw it.
When they peeled layer after layer of the nasal cavity during surgery, the doctors found out that it was a fully grown tooth with a root and a crown. They pulled the tooth out and since then the woman identified as Xia has been feeling much better.
The condition is known as supernumerary teeth which causes extra teeth to grow randomly in any part of the face.
