One of the best strikers in the history of Argentine football, Diego Maradona, who turned 60 on October 30, was admitted to his home in one of the hospitals in La Plata. Reported by Ole.com Y Daily mail.
Initial analyzes of the famous footballer and coach showed positive dynamics, but the result of the CT scan forced doctors to take active measures to save Maradona’s life.
The Argentine soccer icon required brain surgery as a result of the discovery of a subdural hematoma, a volumetric accumulation of blood located between the dura and arachnoid and causing compression of the brain (source – Wikipedia). The danger of this type of hematoma is the extreme degree of variability, which complicates the operation process.
Maradona was hospitalized on Monday night (November 2) due to anemia and dehydration. At the same time, his personal physician said that “his patient’s general condition is improving,” the source quoted him as saying.
However, the updated data did not contain such encouraging phrases: “He has a subdural hematoma. We will do it (surgery – ed.) Today (Tuesday – ed.)”, – he said in an interview with Dr. Leopoldo Luque, a neurologist by training. “Maradona has accumulation of blood between the membrane and the brain. The problem probably arose as a result of an accident, but Maradona does not remember this fact,” the specialist also added.
In reality, the same doctor was supposed to operate on Diego Armando in the hospital, whose name he did not reveal. “Normal operation. The patient is located, understands when they are speaking to him and agrees with the intervention.”
At the same time, on Monday (November 2), the soccer legend’s personal physician said that Maradona “was in a depressed psychological state” and that “this affected his health.” These words are confirmed by the comments of those present at the celebration of the player’s 60th birthday before the game on Gymnastics and Fencing against the Board: “He didn’t stay to watch the game, but he looked sick and weak.
Diego Armando Maradona won gold at the 1986 World Cup in Mexico and silver at the 1990 World Cup in Italy with Argentina, and earned the nickname “Niño de Oro” for his 258 goals in 492 soccer games. of clubs with Argentinos Juniors, Boca Juniors, Barcelona. Napoli, Sevilla and Newells Old Boys.
UPD. Maradona’s GP, Leopoldo Luque, said the patient “underwent the operation successfully”, and his condition is “under control”, – quotes Luque BBC.
