0:48Now PlayingThis patient played the violin while surgeons removed a tumor from her brain to ensure areas responsible for hand movement were not damaged during the tricky procedure.
Orchestra violinist Dagmar Turner, 53, was diagnosed with a tumor in 2013 after she had a seizure during a symphony, according to King’s College Hospital.
Turner had radiotherapy but later turned to surgery after the tumor had “grown and become more aggressive” in 2019.
During the operation, the neurosurgeon opened her skull and Turner was brought out of anesthesia to play the violin. The surgeon said this was the first time he had a patient play an instrument.
