A small needle embedded in an octogenarian’s brain was probably there for her whole life following an attempted infanticide during World War II, Russian doctors say.

A CT scan showing the 3cm-long foreign body in the left parietal lobe was posted to the messaging site Telegram by the Ministry of Health for the eastern island region of Sakhalin last week.
