Dr. Nevo Margalit,  who treated A., ted A., says that a congenital change found at the base of the toddler’s skull, which damages the closed structure of the skull, allows part of the brain — usually outer an outer layer called the brain envelope, but sometimes brain tissue too — descends towards the sinuses.

The parents, who asked not to be identified, said, “We thought there was something, but we didn’t imagine that what was stuck there in the nose was the brain. When we were told about the find, we were shocked.”
