Doctors reported this Tuesday morning, 5, that the bullet that hit the bassist of Ultraje a Rigor, Rinaldo Oliveira Amaral, better known as Mingau, went through the skull and went through the motor function area.

“The bullet entered the braincase in the left frontal region, it was not retained inside the skull, it probably went through and was lost in the environment where the accident occurred,” said neurosurgeon Manuel Jacobsen, during a press conference held at the São Luiz Hospital, in Itaim Bibi, West Zone of São Paulo, where the musician is hospitalized.

According to him, there was no bullet residue inside the skull, with entry and exit marks. The area affected by the bullet is responsible for motor, speech and vision functions. However, the doctors underline that it is not possible to make a prognosis on possible sequelae.



The medical team of São Luiz gave an interview on the state of health of Mingau

“It is difficult to establish a prognosis due to the biodynamic conditions. Future interventions may be required. Only time will tell […] It’s a serious condition, but we have to wait for time. Neurology depends a lot on the skills of the neurosurgeon, the care in the ICU, but it depends a lot on each person’s individual condition,” Jacobsen said.

The state of health is considered very serious. Porridge remains sedated and mechanically ventilated in the hospital’s intensive care unit receiving “antibiotics, anticonvulsants and measures to contain the increase in intracranial pressure”.

“Today the main focus is on treating the patient’s intracranial pressure. Traumas of this magnitude have three phases: trauma, brain swelling and surveillance. Today Porridge is sedated and is in the phase of control of cranial hypertension,” explained the coordinator neurologist of the intensive care unit. Roman Thiago. There is no suspension of sedation.
