Repeated episodes of severe headaches made Ms. Ren feel pain. After excluding cerebral hemorrhage, cerebral infarction, etc., the doctor found that Ms. Ren's "brain is full of water", in order to alleviate severe hydrocephalus, the doctor recommended "ventricular-abdominal" shunt surgery. However, the surgery she originally conceived of "head breaking blood flow" and even "opening the intestine and breaking the stomach" was completed in a minimally invasive manner under the blessing of a set of neuroendoscopy, and also pulled out the "real culprit behind the scenes" of hydrocephalus - ventricular cyst, and cleverly "drained" and "removed the sac". On July 12, when she was successfully discharged from the Neurosurgery Department of Wuhan University People's Hospital (Hubei Provincial People's Hospital), she was still amazed.
On June 15, Ms. Ren, who had been in many hospitals due to severe headaches, found Professor Cai Qiang of the Department of Neurosurgery of the East Hospital of Wuhan University People's Hospital. Before the doctor diagnosed her with hydrocephalus, in order to alleviate severe headache symptoms, as soon as possible to eliminate hydrocephalus, to perform "ventricular-abdominal" shunt surgery, and it is likely that the symptoms will be repeated after the operation, and it is necessary to operate again, which makes her very nervous.
Professor Cai Qiang carefully examined and analyzed the results of various examinations and found that the cranial CT showed that Ms. Ren had obvious hydrocephalus, and MRI suggested that the patient's four ventricles were significantly dilated, and the midbrain water duct was inverted and trumpet-shaped. Cai Qiang invited Director Chen Qianxue to discuss the condition repeatedly with questions, and after repeatedly reading the film with the MDT team composed of Professor Chen Jun of the Department of Radiology and the Department of Pathology, he judged Ms. Ren to be "four intraventricular cysts and obstructive hydrocephalus", that is, because the cyst blocked the "catheter" between the ventricles, causing obstructive hydrocephalus.
Half a month ago, Professor Cai Qiang's team cut a small hole of about 2 centimeters from the back of the patient's brain and inserted it into the neuroendoscopy, confirming the judgment of preoperative experts that the "real culprit behind the scenes" of hydrocephalus was a four ventricular cyst. Under the endoscopic imaging system, Professor Cai Qiang carefully peeled off extremely important brain tissues such as cysts and medulla oblongata, minimally excised part of the cyst wall, and opened the middle hole behind the four ventricles to empty the hydrocephalus. On the second day after the operation, Ms. Ren's headache symptoms were significantly alleviated, and she recovered and was discharged from the hospital after 10 days.
