When the man leaned through the boat board to pull the hook out of the fish, the fish jumped and hit him in his mouth "beak", causing the man to fall back into the boat. He felt pain in his neck, which he then gave into the spine. In the hospital, doctors conducted an X -ray of the upper part of the spine of the man, but did not find any abnormalities.

However, then the spine pain and tightness of the neck prompted the doctors to prescribe computed tomography (CT) of the same area. At the CT, doctors noted the "wedge -shaped, surrounding object" - later it turned out that it was a broken tip of the fish "beak". The pictures also showed that he penetrated into the back of the man's throat and entered the spinal canal.

It stuck there, having punched a large occipital opening - a large hole at the base of the skull through which the spinal cord passes. Doctors immediately performed surgery to remove the object. The victim introduced general anesthesia and performed the procedure. It should be noted that the sharp tip of the "beak" Marlin was so stuck in the skull of a man that the surgeon had to make an extra incident above the upper vertebra of the man to remove him by pulling it on the entrance path.

The length of the object was about 3. 5 centimeters. After removing the fragment, the patient was given five different types of antibiotics to prevent infection with germs detected in the throat and bacteria that are unique to the marine environment. It was discharged after eight days and continued to take several antibiotics for the next two weeks. During his last control visit, the man completely recovered and did not show any prolonged neurological symptoms.

In 1848, doctors published the first medical examination of the case of a skull injury from a foreign object. Then the explosion of the gunpowder punched the skull of the Gayeas Gaya Iron Prut railway. Gayge recovered, but he had changes in personality that doctors attributed him to serious brain injuries. Otherwise, in 1895 the man stumbled and fell down the canor with oil.

The jet pierced his cheek and stuck at the base of the skull, causing temporary urinary incontinence and constant memory loss. From those cases in the 19th century, doctors reported cases of traumatic brain injury in different parts of the skull and from different objects, including a crochet for knitting, forks, a bicycle and a harpoon.
