Patient plays violin while surgeons remove brain tumour
A patient at King’s College Hospital in London has played the violin while surgeons removed a tumour from her brain.
The unusual approach was taken to ensure areas of the patient’s brain responsible for delicate hand movement and co-ordination - crucial components when playing violin - were not inadvertently damaged during the millimetre-precise procedure.
