DOCTORS at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) today examined Savitri Kumari, a 13-year-old who rolls stones down her cheeks instead of tears. Having undergone a surgery in Ranchi earlier, this is the last ray of hope for Savitri and her family, who have come down all the way from Jharkhand.
Though the doctors did not find anything significant after examining her, they will conduct tests, including a psychological assessment before arriving at any conclusion.
Even as this is the first ever case of its kind, we will have to be very careful before coming to any conclusion. I examined her eyes but I am not sure about the stones coming out of eyes. The psychological assessment is also really very important as there is a possibility that it could be a phsychological thing. Few years back we had a case in which ants would come from the eyes of a 16year-old when she would cry. However, we caught her putting ants in her eyes. Henceforth, we will have to carry many tests before commenting on this case, said Dr JS Titiyal, professor in RP centre, AIIMS.
