Phoenix-area neurosurgeons were pleasantly surprised to discover a woman's blurred vision and arm numbness was not being caused by a tumor on or near her brain stem. It was being caused by a worm!
Apparently, worms of this type are not completely unheard-of. They can be contracted by eating undercooked pork or even passed along by people with bad hygiene. People who do not wash their hands after using the restroom can expose others, some of whom will develop a worm... in their brain!
