It centers on the story of a Danish guy in his 30s who, after nearly two decades of “extensive” breakdancing, developed a “breakdance bulge”.
He trained for approximately five hours a week, with two to seven minutes dedicated to applying pressure to his head during each session.
A article published in the journal BMJ Case Reports states that despite the mass causing him agony and being “aesthetically displeasing to the patient,” who wore a hat in public to cover it, the man continued headspinning.
Medical professionals diagnosed a “headspin hole” after ruling out cancer and other possible illnesses.
According to medics, it appears as a fibrous mass on the scalp.
It is characterized by numbness, irritation, hair loss, and occasionally the development of a mass on the scalp. They added, “The term ‘cone-head sign’ is used in radiologic descriptions.”
The bulge was surgically removed when the man sought assistance.
After the procedure, the patient, who wishes to remain anonymous, said: “I’m delighted I had it done since the result looks lot better than it did before.
If given the option, I would opt to repeat the process. I can now go out in public without wearing a hat or cap, which is obviously a really pleasant experience.
