On the night of January 5, Dr. Nguyen Cat Phuong Vu (the intensive care unit of the Children’s Hospital in Ho Chi Minh City) said that he had just saved the life of a TN (3-year-old man living in Vinh Long province) with a stroke. cerebral hemorrhage – one of the most common and fatal diseases in the elderly.
Almost a month ago, when baby N. was playing with a friend, he suddenly fell to the ground, had a seizure, and lost consciousness. The baby was taken to the Children’s Hospital of the City by his family.
Doctors from the emergency department did tests, CT scans of the skull and resuscitation, and the results showed that the baby had many signs of bleeding under the spider. After stable resuscitation, the baby had DSA (digital fundus removal angiography) taken in the brain vessels to find the cause of the stroke.
Not unlike the doctors’ initial predictions, the outcome that caused the baby to have a brain hemorrhage was a brain aneurysm.
Thereafter, the neurosurgery doctor plans to treat the cause of baby N. with the goal of completely obstructing the bulging sac, placing a switching stent to prevent further brain hemorrhage.. It is a high-tech non-surgical treatment that has been implemented in the hospital for more than 2 years.
So far, after nearly a month of surgery and treatment in the hospital, Baby N.’s health has stabilized and she is ready to be discharged in the next few days.
Dr. Vu said that, in the past, brain aneurysm was a common disease and one of the leading causes of death in the elderly and elderly. However, now, cerebrovascular aneurysm sac pathology appears at an earlier age.
“3 years is the youngest age of recorded cerebral vascular aneurysm disease” – Specific information from Dr. Vu.
Regarding the symptoms of hemorrhagic stroke in children, Dr. Huynh Huu Danh (department of neurosurgery) said as adults. It is distorted mouth, weak and dumb limbs, even fast coma, seizures when rapid brain hemorrhage.
“Because the disease is so rare in young children, it is easy to misdiagnose another disease, especially meningitis. Without timely transfer and treatment, the child is at very high risk of disability, even life threatening” – shared the Dr. Danh.
