Supreme Court Rules Cause Of Tumour Linked To Long Term Use Of Mobile Phone

BRESCIA, ITALY - OCTOBER 19: (PREMIUM RATES APPLY) (EXCLUSIVE COVERAGE) Innocente Marcolini poses in his home on October 19, 2012 in Brescia, Italy. In a landmark workplace compensation case, the Supreme Court in Rome has ruled that there was a "causal link" between the use of a mobile phone and the illness of 60 year old Italian businessman Innocente Marcolini, who used a mobile phone for up to six hours a day for 12 years in his role as a business manager. Mr Marcolini was diagnosed with a tumour on his trigeminal nerve, which is close to where his mobile phone touched his head, leaving him with paralysis in his face and requiring daily morphine for pain. Despite being non-cancerous, the tumour became life-threatening after it spread to the carotid artery, the major vessel carrying blood to the brain. (Photo by Pier Marco Tacca/Getty Images)
