A woman was shocked to discover that the toothache she'd been suffering from was actually caused by a brain tumour.
Emma Webster, 29, an administrator from Airdrie, North Lanarkshire, initially went to the dentist in April 2018 when she started experiencing excruciating pain in her tooth.
The mum-of-one was awaiting root canal surgery, so her dentist brought the operation forward to see if that might help to ease her pain.
When the pain didn’t go away, doctors suspected she could be experiencing neuralgia, a stabbing pain due to an irritated or damaged nerve, and she was treated for it for six months.
But after struggling with numbness on the top her mouth, pain and blurred vision she was referred to the neurology department at Queen Elizabeth University Hospital, Glasgow.
In January 2019, following an MRI scan, Webster was given the news that she had a brain tumour behind her right eye.
