Headache is a very common symptom in life, and many people don't pay much attention to it, thinking that taking some painkillers or taking a break can relieve it. However, there is a headache that is not so simple. This kind of headache comes suddenly, and if it is not treated in time, it may cause very serious consequences, and the culprit is the rupture of intracranial aneurysm, also known as "intracranial time bomb".
Half a month ago, Ms. Chen (pseudonym), who is in her early 40s, suddenly had a headache, but the headache was not severe, so she didn't take it seriously, thinking about putting up with it and passing it. However, after three days in a row, Ms. Chen's headache symptoms did not ease at all, and she realized that she could not put it off any longer. So, accompanied by her family, she came to the Department of Neurology of the Kaiyuan Campus of the First Affiliated Hospital of Henan University of Science and Technology (hereinafter referred to as the First Affiliated Hospital of Henan University of Science and Technology) for treatment.
After receiving the consultation, Qi Jisheng, deputy director of the Department of Neurology, completed the relevant examination for Ms. Chen and confirmed that she had a ruptured intracranial aneurysm. "He is in critical condition and needs surgery as soon as possible!Qi Jisheng introduced that intracranial aneurysm is not a tumor, but refers to an abnormal bulge that occurs on the wall of an intracranial artery. Once an intracranial aneurysm ruptures and bleeds, the condition is very dangerous and prone to repeated bleeding. If it is not timely**, it can even lead to death, so it is called a "time bomb".
After obtaining the consent of the family, Qi Jisheng led the team to perform coil embolization in the intracranial aneurysm under minimally invasive intervention** for Ms. Chen. During the operation, Qi Jisheng overcame one difficulty after another with his rich experience and exquisite skills, successfully sent the spring coil into the aneurysm cavity, and successfully defused the "time bomb" in Ms. Chen's skull. After the operation, Ms. Chen's headache symptoms gradually eased, and she was discharged from the hospital soon after.
During my hospitalization, I was deeply impressed by the superb skills and meticulous service of the neurology medical team, and thanks to you, I was able to save my life!When Ms. Chen** was discharged from the hospital, her words were full of gratitude to the medical staff.
Compared with traditional surgery, minimally invasive interventional surgery only needs to insert a catheter into a small incision in the patient's body, and there is no need for invasive operations such as cranial incision during the operation, which has obvious advantages. Qi Jisheng reminded that intracranial aneurysms are generally asymptomatic if they are not ruptured, and once they rupture and bleed, the condition is often very dangerous. If there are sudden symptoms such as headache, dizziness, vomiting, etc., you need to be alert to ruptured and bleeding intracranial aneurysm, and you should go to the hospital in time to avoid missing the best opportunity.
