It was quite noticeable that the breakdancer had a bulge on his head. As the old saying goes, artists must suffer for their art, but this situation seemed to be taking it a bit too far. You see, this breakdancer had to undergo surgery because he had spent countless hours spinning on his head, which had resulted in the development of what was now known as the "breakdance bulge."
This bulge, although well-known within the breakdance community, had not been extensively studied in the medical field. It had formed over the course of the dancer's 19-year career, and it had been causing him a lot of discomfort. The dancer, who wished to remain anonymous, would spend up to seven minutes at a time putting pressure on his head while practicing his head spins during his one-and-a-half hour training sessions, which took place five times a week.
But as time went by, the bulge continued to grow in size and became more and more sensitive. Eventually, the dancer felt like he couldn't even leave his house without wearing a hat to cover the cone-like mass on his head. After seeking medical help, it was discovered that the bulge, also known as the "headspin hole," was not cancer or any other disease, and it was successfully removed through surgery.
This case was reported in the BMJ Case Reports journal, which also advised breakdancers to avoid head spinning if they noticed the development of a breakdance bulge. One of the authors of the report, Dr. Christian Baastrup Sondergaard, explained that although they were not advocating against headspins entirely, breakdancers should consider reducing or avoiding them if they noticed the early stages of a breakdance bulge, as it could worsen with continued spinning.
The report also highlighted the fact that breakdancing is a physically demanding activity that puts a lot of strain on the body, making breakdancers more prone to injuries and chronic problems. One of these injuries, known as "overuse injury to the scalp," is caused by repeated head spinning and can result in hair loss, inflammation, numbness, and the formation of a lump on the scalp.
The patient in this case had noticed his hair loss worsening over the course of five years, while the protrusion on his head became bigger and more tender. After seeking medical help, he underwent surgery to remove the mass, and the before and after pictures clearly showed the change in the shape of his head.
The report concluded that surgical treatment for the breakdance bulge proved to be a successful intervention. The breakdancer, after receiving his surgery, expressed his satisfaction with the outcome, saying that he was now able to go out in public without wearing a hat, which was a great feeling for him. He also received a lot of positive feedback, with people saying that the surgery was well done, his scar was barely noticeable, and his overall appearance had significantly improved. Many even commented that they no longer noticed the bump on his head, and he now looked completely normal.
