Mateus Facio was having fun with his pals on the beach when he felt something hit him. The 21-year-old said: “I thought it was a bad joke. “Like someone had picked up and thrown a stone. Because I didn’t hear anything. “If I’d heard a noise, I might have suspected something.” “But I didn’t hear anything, everything seemed perfectly normal.” he told local media. Mateus continued enjoying the beach in Cabo Frio, east of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. But after returning home to Juiz de Fora, his arms and fingers stopped moving normally and he ended up going to hospital for tests. He was stunned when medics told him he had a 9mm bullet lodged in his head. Mateus had an operation to remove the projectile. Neurosurgeon Flávio Falcometa told local media: “The bullet was compressing the brain in an area close to the region responsible for the movement of the right arm, causing irritation. “This led to the brain to respond with movements that manifested as convulsive episodes. “It was in an area very close to what we call the motor area of the brain, which is responsible for movement. “The bullet could have caused much more serious damage, potentially leaving his arm or half of his body paralysed.” The removed bullet was sent to the police in Cabo Frio, who are investigating the case.

„Wo war ich in der Nacht von Freitag auf Montag?", fragt die Berliner Band SPD in einem Partyhit.
Auch ein brasilianischer Student hat vier Tage lang durchgefeiert – allerdings unter mehr als ungewöhnlichen Umständen: Er merkte während der gesamten Zeit nicht, dass er angeschossen worden war und die Kugel noch in seinem Gehirn steckte.

Rio de Janeiro: Student macht mit Kugel im Kopf tagelang Party

Mateus Facio (21) ist mit seinen Freunden auf der Silvesterparty in Rio de Janeiro, als jemand einen „Stein“ in seine Richtung wirft. Der Student spürt einen Schlag an seinem Kopf und blutet. Doch weil die Wunde schnell verheilt, macht er sich keine Sorgen, berichtet die Daily Mail.

Und so feiert der 21-Jährige auch die folgenden vier Tage und geht im Meer schwimmen. Was er nicht ahnt: Der vermeintliche Stein, der ihn getroffen hat, war in Wirklichkeit eine Kugel aus einer Waffe.

Dass der Student vergleichsweise geringe Schäden davontrug, ist beim Anblick der CT-Aufnahme kaum zu glauben.

Erst auf der 320 Kilometer langen Heimfahrt merkt Mateus Facio, dass etwas nicht stimmt. Er bekommt schlimme Krämpfe im rechten Arm und muss immer wieder anhalten. Schließlich sucht er sich medizinische Hilfe. Bei einer Computertomographie (CT) machen die Ärzte die unglaubliche Entdeckung: Im Gehirn des Studenten steckt die Kugel.

Eine zweistündige Operation rettet Facio das Leben; er verbringt anschließend zwei Tage auf der Intensivstation.

Student hatte wohl Glück im Unglück

Ein Teil der Kugel habe starken Druck auf einen bestimmten Bereich des Gehirns ausgeübt und so zu unwillkürlichen Bewegungen des Arms geführt, erläutert Neurochirurg Flavio Falcometa. „Hätte sie nur ein paar Millimeter von dieser Stelle entfernt gesteckt, wäre der Schaden vielleicht viel größer und sein Arm oder eine Seite seines Körpers gelähmt." Der Student habe Glück gehabt und könne vermutlich „in 20 bis 30 Tagen" wieder ganz normal leben, sagt der Mediziner.

Mateus Facio erholt sich in seinem Haus in Juiz de Fora im Süden Brasiliens. Die Polizei will die aus seinem Kopf entfernte Kugel untersuchen lassen. Wer sie abgefeuert hat, ist noch unklar. (bst)
