A 24-Year-Old Woman Just Discovered She's Had a Hole in Her Brain Her Entire Life

 

A 24-year-old woman who admitted herself to the hospital in China after suffering from dizzy spells and an upset stomach just received some unexpected news: after they scanned her brain, the woman's doctors found an empty hole where her cerebellum should be, the New Scientist reports. She is only the ninth person ever to be discovered to have led a relatively normal life despite being born without that part of the brain. As the New Scientist reports, most people who suffer from this rare condition die very young.
