How to recover after ruptured brain aneurysm surgery

What is recovery like after a ruptured brain aneurysm?

1. After surgery for ruptured cerebral aneurysm, the doctor will regularly review the patient's condition to understand the patency of the blood vessels, whether the patient is conscious, whether the patient's limb movement has recovered, complications, lung infections and bruises.

2. One thing the family members of patients with cerebral artery injuries need to do is to help the doctor observe changes in the patient's consciousness, whether the patient is in a coma, irritable, vomiting, having a headache, recovery of movement of hands and feet, paralysis, urinary incontinence, the patient's family members assisting the doctor, frequent turning over, feeding, personal hygiene, physical activities, etc.

3. Brain aneurysm 7mm Generally speaking, if this size does not cause any particular discomfort in daily life, surgical treatment is not necessary and the situation is not too serious. However, the changes in brain aneurysms are still large. Patients should go to the hospital for regular checkups to clarify the development of aneurysms as soon as possible.

Determining the severity of a cerebral aneurysm:

1. CT scan: This method of examination is very effective for patients with early cerebral aneurysms. Generally speaking, the positive rate is 70% to 80% on the third day after onset, and it will drop to 50% after one week. CT scans are sometimes helpful in understanding the location and type of aneurysms, as well as the extent and degree of subarachnoid cerebral blood flow, and help to find out the cause of neurological deficits.

2. Magnetic resonance imaging: MRI is also valuable in diagnosing aneurysm rupture. MRI provides more information, such as the location, size, shape, peritumoral brain tissue, and aneurysm thrombosis. MR angiography has limited clarity and cannot accurately determine the situation in the area of ​​​​onset, so it cannot be used as a reference for surgery, but it can roughly estimate vascular spasm.

3. Cerebral angiography: Cerebral angiography is the key to the diagnosis of aneurysms. It can locate aneurysms, understand their shape, evaluate the other party's circulation, and observe whether there are brain abnormalities. At the same time, it is of great value in the diagnosis and treatment of vasospasm. Preoperative angiography can also help learn anatomy.
