Feel dizzy, chest tightness must not be careless. A 46-year-old woman with no bad habits and normal work and rest was found to have a 2 cm large tumor in her brain, which looked like a ticking time bomb. If no treatment was done, the mortality rate was about 30% , If the tumor breaks again, the mortality rate can reach more than 60%.
According to the “ETtoday Health Cloud” report, Ruan Yuxiu, director of the Neuroradiology Department of the Imaging Medicine Department of Taipei Tzu Chi Hospital, pointed out that the blood vessel wall of the brain is divided into three layers: inner, middle, and outer. Once the inner layer is damaged and damaged, blood will flow through the opening. Enter the middle layer, wait for the accumulation and then push the outer layer outward to form an aneurysm. The woman’s 2-centimeter aneurysm is already huge, and the most common ones are only about 0.3 to 0.5 centimeters.
Fortunately, after the “blood flow guidance device assisted coil embolization” operation, the aneurysm has been completely embolized and its size has gradually shrunk, so there is no need to worry about the risk of rupture. Director Ruan Yuxiu pointed out that the collagen in the middle layer of the brain naturally lacks elastic fibers, high blood pressure and smoking are risk factors for aneurysms, and the average risk factor for women and men is 1.5 to 1, but for postmenopausal women, It is raised to 2 to 1.
Director Ruan Yuxiu said that if you feel discomfort in your head for a long time, you should seek medical advice as soon as possible. The symptoms of aneurysms will vary depending on the location and volume. Double vision, drooping eyelids, and drooping eyelids occur, and if the aneurysm ruptures causing intracranial hemorrhage, severe headache and even coma.
