Chennai - India

She thought the pain in her skull was a headache. It was a live cockroach

Boy was she ever right.

A trip to the hospital yielded the cause -- doctors pulled a live cockroach from her skull.

The 42-year-old woman, who lives in a village outside of Chennai, India, ended up at Stanley Medical College.

She was complaining of a severe headache and was having difficulty breathing.

A doctor conducted an endoscopy to determine the source of her pain. At first he didn't see anything. Then he did -- the legs of some kind of creature.
