Patient Tran B.C (13 years old, residing in Son Tra district, Da Nang city) suddenly fainted while practicing art at school and was admitted to Da Nang Hospital in a state of deep coma and respiratory failure.
At Da Nang Hospital, through imaging diagnosis, it was shown that there was a large intracranial hemorrhage, seriously compressing brain tissue. The team of doctors from the Neurosurgery Department in collaboration with the Anesthesia and Resuscitation Department performed emergency surgery to open the skull, remove the hematoma and relieve the pressure in the skull and save the patient's life.
After surgery, the child had a digital Defense of Agency (DSA) blood vessel scan, identifying a complex blood vessel deformity with a aneurysm at risk of recurrence of bleeding. The doctors of Neurosurgery, Imaging Diagnosis and Anesthesia resuscitation continued to perform a thorough surgery to remove all deformities and duodenal abscesses.
Thanks to the smooth coordination between specialties, the patient recovered well, was alert, had almost normal quadriplegic movements and was discharged from the hospital.
Dr. Tra Tan Hoanh, Head of the Neurosurgery Department, Da Nang Hospital, said: Sly scale does not only occur in adults. In fact, we are receiving more and more cases of cerebral hemorrhage in children, mainly related to birth blood vessel deformities. Early detection and treatment are key to saving lives and limiting sequelae.
Doctors at Da Nang Hospital recommend that parents should not be subjective in the face of signs such as prolonged headaches, nausea, weak limbs, seizures, and sudden loss of consciousness in their children. Regular health check-ups, cerebral vascular tests when suspected of abnormalities.
Take your child to a neurological medical facility with modern equipment as soon as there are signs of emergency for timely diagnosis and intervention.
