May be related to the onset of cerebrovascular disease and cold weather and hot water bathing? Recently, a woman in Qingyuan suddenly had a severe headache after taking a bath, and was eventually diagnosed with cerebral hemorrhage. Further examination revealed that she had 7 aneurysms in her skull. Fortunately, the Guangzhou doctor operated in time and closed 7 "time bombs" at one time, successfully lifting the crisis.

Experts remind that the sudden heat expansion and contraction of blood vessels may also lead to rupture of aneurysms. Therefore, when the temperature and air pressure change sharply, special attention should be paid to guard against the high incidence of cerebrovascular disease.

After taking a bath, the headache was suddenly severe, and it was intracranial hemorrhage!

Recalling the situation on the day of Aunt Huang's (pseudonym), her husband Uncle Zhang (pseudonym) still has palpitations.

Aunt Huang, who lives in Qingyuan, is 63 years old. After retirement, she teased her grandson at home, and it was difficult to bring up her grandson, and the old couple finally lived a quiet and quiet life.

At 9:00 p.m. on December 2, Aunt Huang prepared to take a bath and rest as usual. Unexpectedly, when I was halfway through the wash, I felt a little headache. She washed it for ten minutes and came out, and the headache still didn't get better. Unbearable look, nausea and vomiting. Uncle Zhang helped recall that Aunt Huang wiped some cool oil, but her head was still getting more and more painful. Seeing that her headache lasted for more than an hour and did not get better, Uncle Zhang rushed her to the local hospital.

At the local hospital, Aunt Huang was told it was intracranial hemorrhage. "The next day the headache improved somewhat, but there was still nausea and vomiting." In order to seek further diagnosis and treatment, on December 3, Aunt Huang, accompanied by Uncle Zhang, rushed to Guangdong Sanjiu Brain Hospital.

There are 7 "ticking time bombs" in the brain! One operation is completely clipped

Lu Ming, the vice president of the hospital, carefully asked the patient's medical history, suspecting that it was an aneurysm or rupture of arteriovenous malformations that caused subarachnoid hemorrhage.

"Under cerebral angiography imaging, it can be clearly seen that there are 7 aneurysms of different sizes distributed at the bifurcation and anterior traffic of the right side of the anterior cerebral artery A2, A3 and M1 of the middle artery, and the largest one is 7 mm in diameter. On the right frontal lobe there is a 15 mm X 18 mm size arteriovenous vascular malformation cluster, like a tangled ball of earthworms. Lu Ming said that multiple aneurysms are relatively rare, but it is the first time to see 7 aneurysms at a time.

The red circles are aneurysms and malformations, and it is quite rare to have 7 aneurysms at a time

After urgently improving the relevant preoperative examinations, Vice President Lu Ming and the team of the five departments of neurology performed intracranial multiple aneurysm clipping for the patient, and 7 aneurysms were clipped at one time, along with the arteriovenous malformations were also removed. "The operation lasted 12 hours, and 7 aneurysms were 7 'ticking time bombs', and one-time treatment can effectively eliminate future problems." Lu Ming said. After symptomatic treatment such as anti-infection and anti-inflammatory treatment after surgery, Aunt Huang will be discharged from the hospital in the near future.

When the weather changes suddenly, be wary of the high incidence of cerebrovascular disease

Recently, when the cold air visited, Lu Ming reminded that the temperature and air pressure changes sharply in autumn and winter, and the incidence of cerebrovascular disease is high. High-risk persons should be vigilant.

Lu Ming introduced that Aunt Huang's onset may be related to the cold weather and hot water bathing. "When blood vessels are strongly stimulated, they can induce disease to a certain extent. For example, the heat expansion and contraction of blood vessels may lead to rupture of aneurysms. "Lu Ming reminds all citizens, especially those with underlying cerebrovascular diseases, to pay attention to cold protection and warmth in the near future to avoid the body from being stimulated by cold and warmth." Use less overheated water to bathe, soak your feet, drink less alcohol, and avoid getting emotional. (For more news, please pay attention to Yangcheng Pie pai.ycwb.com)
