Headbanging brain bleed is a very unusual and peculiar condition, but for the most part, it isn't a myth after German doctors have revealed to have treated a patient whose brain bled due to his headbanging habit. Yikes!

Heavy metal, metal rock, and other headbanging genre fans beware! Doctors have already found a case proving that headbanging can make your brain bleed.

According to The Week, German doctors have come out this week to reveal that earlier this year they have stumbled upon a rare headbanging brain bleed case.

The doctors said that their 50-year-old patient came to them complaining of constant, worsening headaches despite of his lack of head injury history or substance abuse problems.

However, they managed to solve the puzzle when the man revealed that he has been a heavy headbanger for many years now. His recent headbanging gesture was at a Motorhead concert he attended with his son, where they banged their heads all night long in symphony with the loud music and the cataclysmic crowd.

Upon subjecting the man to a computer scan, doctors found out that there has been a blood buildup in a certain area of his brain, and surmised that this may have been due to his headbanging habit which led his brain to bleed.

A small hole was drilled into his head to drain the fluid, and a follow-up exam revealed that the patient actually had a cyst, which could have made him more susceptible to the headbanging brain bleed condition he had developed.

The medical team who treated the patient noted that in the recent years they have also come across with cases of minor brain damage related to heavy metal music.

Nonetheless, the doctors also maintained that this headbanging brain bleed case is so rare that the risk of injury due to heavy headbanging is quite low.

"We are not against headbanging," said Dr. Ariyan Pirayesh Islamian, who is part of the medical team that treated the 50-year-old. "The risk of injury is very, very low. But I think if (our patient) had (gone) to a classical concert, this would not have happened."

Interestingly, doctors also maintained that headbangers shouldn't be discouraged from enjoying their jam.

"There are probably other higher risk events going on at rock concerts than headbanging,"Dr. Colin Shieff, a neurosurgeon and trustee of the British brain injury advocacy group Headway, said.

"Most people who go to music festivals and jump up and down while shaking their heads don't end up in the hands of a neurosurgeon," Shieff added.

"Rock 'n' roll will never die," Dr. Islamian quipped. "Heavy metal fans should rock on."
