This is the stomach-churning moment surgeons discovered 14 live worms wriggling inside a woman's internal organs.
The woman, named only as 38-year-old Sunita, visited hospital after suffering with severe abdominal pain, fever, vomiting and episodes of jaundice for six months.
A CT scan revealed more than a dozen live roundworms, measuring between 15cm and 20cm each, in her bile duct which connects the liver and intestines.
Surgeons at Fortis Hospital in New Delhi, India, removed the creatures using snares and forceps endoscopically, without surgery.
