My Brain Surgery - Part 06 of 14

*WARNING: CONTAINS GRAPHIC IMAGES OF AN ACTUAL SURGICAL PROCEDURE* After being lodged and herniated thru the innominate foramen for 24 years, the encephalocele does not want to come out! The pathological study on the removed "brain" tissue concluded it was scarred and calcified gliotic tissue. So it was never a functional part of my brain. It hardly looks like real brain tissue.

@RAFFYNOOB that was part of the meningocele (brain cyst) which was actually a non-functioning part of my brain. nothing was lost!
