Violinist plays during brain surgery - 28th February 2020

A violinist has helped surgeons avoid damaging her brain. She played her instrument while they removed her tumour.

Dagmar Turner, a musician in England, was diagnosed with a brain tumour in 2013.

The tumour was near an important part of the brain. It controls the tiny hand movements needed to play the violin.

The successful surgery meant she left hospital three days later.
