After that, the woman quickly joined her son to the nearest clinic but found nothing unusual. The next day, feeling unwell, she went to Stanley Hospital in Chennai. Here, doctors discovered the horrible animal in Mrs. Selvi's skull.

Dr. MN Shankar, the head of the Otolaryngology Department at the hospital, said: "This is the first time I have had this case in three decades of practice. The cockroach is located at the base of the skull, between the eyes and quite close. If the brain is not detected early, it can die in it and cause an infected patient to spread to the brain . "

During the 45-minute surgery, the doctors had to "drag" the cockroach off the part where they could take it out. The tricky thing is that the animal also clings to the tissues inside Mrs. Selvi's head, forcing the doctor to use forceps and suction to remove it, according to the Times of India.

Finally, the cockroach was also taken out after living in Mrs. Selvi's skull for nearly 12 hours.
