A contagious joy and, now that he has left us, he misses me immensely. Tom Veiga, who gave life to the character of Louro José, died young, at age 47. He had an aneurysm in his brain.
“Brain aneurysms usually last a lifetime without symptoms. There he is silent, the patient does not know that he has an aneurysm ”, explains neurointerventionist Daniel Abud.
Dr. Drauzio Varella explains that aneurysms are dangerous when they rupture, because blood flows to the brain. In Tom Veiga’s case, the worst happened: the aneurysm ruptured, causing a hemorrhagic stroke – stroke, also popularly known as stroke.
In the video report, you will see Dr. Drauzio Varella speaking about:
- At 02:48 – Risk group: aneurysm rupture and bleeding episodes generally occur after the age of 50, affect women more, and become more common as a person ages.
- At 03:13 – Diagnosis: “Aneurysms do not usually cause symptoms. To diagnose, it is necessary to perform a computed tomography or an MRI ”, explains Drauzio.
- At 03:22 – Is the aneurysm genetic ?: According to Drauzio, congenital aneurysms are rare, when a person is born with them. A considerable number of cases arise from high blood pressure without treatment.
- At 03:56 – Alert: “If you suspect that a person has a neurological condition that appeared suddenly, suddenly, it is an emergency. Run with her to the hospital, ”says Drauzio Varella.
- At 04:25 – Treatment: There is no medicine to treat the aneurysm, but the operation is quick. So you have to be careful.
- At 06:21 – Prevention: “To reduce the risk of having an aneurysm, it is very important to control high blood pressure, exercise and above all not smoke,” says Drauzio.
