Russian news site Komsomolskaya Pravda reported that the patient arrived to his local hospital where staff saw the stool leg, “literally sticking out of the man’s head.”
The X-ray shows how the leg pierced through the man’s skull travelling several inches deep into his brain.
Neurosurgeons, who removed the foreign object at Krasnoyarsk Regional Hospital, have said that the operation was without complications.
