Chapter 43
After being transferred to neurosurgery, after a series of examinations, Guo Qiqi's report finally came out.
Zhu Yan, Xie Lin, and Tian Tian came to Zhao Jiangsheng's office to hear the results. Tian Tian rushed over immediately after finishing the closed training. Guo Qiqi's parents also rushed back from abroad. So many people,
Zhao Jiangsheng's office was crowded.
Everyone looked at Dr. Zhao nervously, waiting for his verdict.
"Don't be too nervous, the situation is not that bad."
Everyone felt a little relieved after mentioning it.
"What kind of disease is it? Tell me! Dr. Zhao, we can still bear it." Guo Qiqi's father Guo Chengwei spoke first. He is the only man in the family. At this time, he has to support him no matter what. Guo Qiqi's mother
His eyes were red and swollen, and he looked like he had been crying.
"After our examination, we can confirm that it is a meningioma."
"Meningioma?"
After these few days of supplementation, Zhu Yan and Xie Lin had secretly looked up all the relevant knowledge about brain tumors. Knowing what meningiomas were, they felt a little relieved.
"Is this meningioma life-threatening?" Guo Chengwei asked.
Zhao Jiangsheng gave everyone some popular science: "The risk of meningiomas is relatively lower than other intracranial tumors. Meningiomas are common intracranial tumors in adults. Most are benign, grow slowly, and have clear boundaries with brain tissue.
Only a small number (about 1.7%) show malignant growth. The occurrence of meningiomas is related to the arachnoid membrane and can occur anywhere where there are arachnoid cells, especially where there are arachnoid granules. Common locations include: parasagittal sinus
, cerebral convexity, parafalx cerebri, tuberculum sellae, sphenoid crest, olfactory groove and lateral ventricle, etc. Clinical symptoms are mainly related to the location of the tumor. Smaller tumors often have no symptoms in the early stage and are mostly discovered accidentally during physical examination.
Larger tumors often cause corresponding neurological symptoms due to compression of local brain tissue, such as headaches, epileptic seizures, vision loss, dizziness, limb weakness, mental personality changes, memory loss, and loss of smell. From a pathological perspective,
Look, meningiomas are mainly divided into three categories: typical, ovarian and malignant. Typical meningiomas are further divided into endothelial, fibrous and transitional or mixed types; while ovarian meningiomas have the same tissue components as typical, except that
The cells grow more actively and the tumors are more aggressive; malignant meningiomas are also called anaplastic meningiomas, which are mainly ovarian or sarcoma-type. The cells grow actively and invade the cerebral cortex. Even in the case of total resection, they can cause serious damage.
Relapse soon."
"Dr. Zhao, I would like to ask, how did you get this meningioma? Everyone in our family is healthy, no one has these strange diseases, why is Qiqi..." Guo's mother couldn't help but blush as she spoke.
Eye sockets.
"There are two reasons for meningiomas. One is internal causes such as genetic abnormalities on chromosome 22, estrogen, growth factors and receptors, etc., and the other is external causes such as trauma, radiation damage, viral infection, etc. As for who Guo Qiqi is
One way, we can only do pathological examination after resection. Fortunately, Guo Qiqi’s tumor is a typical meningioma, not malignant.”
"It's not malignant?" Guo's mother emphasized.
"Yes." Zhao Jiangsheng nodded affirmatively.
"Thank God." Guo's mother breathed a sigh of relief.
"Then how to treat it?"
"The treatment of meningiomas is mainly surgical resection. If the patient is older, the tumor is small, there is no pressure on the brain tissue, and there are no clinical symptoms, dynamic observation can also be performed. However, for younger patients, it should be considered first.
Surgical resection. So I suggest that Guo Qiqi be operated on as soon as possible. Of course, Guo Qiqi’s condition must be informed before the operation, and her own opinions must be sought. The family members should try their best to do a good job in her ideological work and let her actively cooperate with the treatment.”
"Will it be completely cured after the surgery?"
"Benign meningiomas generally do not recur, but there is a possibility of recurrence in rare cases."
"Will the operation damage her brain? Don't let the tumor be removed and she becomes stupid."
"The situation you mentioned generally does not occur. As long as the nervous system of the brain is not damaged, how can one become stupid? Of course, there are some uncertain factors in the operation. After all, the human brain is very complex. This depends on the specific situation.
It is decided that the blood supply of meningioma is mostly dual blood supply, both from the blood supply outside the brain and from the brain. During the operation, there is often heavy bleeding, especially if it is huge and has a very rich blood supply.
Meningioma. Therefore, the effect of surgical resection is closely related to the experience and skill of the surgeon. Generally speaking, the more complete the tumor resection, the better the prognosis. However, in some cases, in order to avoid damage to important neurological functions, blindly
Pursue total resection. Currently, the internationally recognized surgical resection of meningiomas is divided into five levels, which is the Simpson grading system: Level 1: total tumor resection, the attached dura mater and damaged skull are removed together; Level 2: tumor
Total resection, electrocoagulation and cauterization of the basal dura mater; Level 3: Total tumor resection, without treatment of the basal dura mater; Level 4: Partial resection of the tumor; Level 5: Simple biopsy and decompression... So the specific situation is treated on a case-by-case basis, and the hospital
Sophisticated equipment and doctors' superb skills are the main factors that ensure the success of patients' operations. Currently, the neurosurgery department of Jiangcheng People's Hospital in H Province is the best in this regard. Of course, you can also choose to go to Beijing, Shanghai, or even abroad. I personally recommend
It is better for the patient to stay here for treatment."
"Thank you Dr. Zhao, can we discuss it first?"
"No problem, you guys can discuss it carefully, and everything should be done with the patient first."
After understanding the disease, everyone felt confident.
Only then did Guo’s father and mother Guo tell her about Guo Qiqi’s condition.
After listening to a lot of talk from her parents, Guo Qiqi said impatiently: "I summarized it, isn't it just a few keywords? - meningioma, benign, surgical removal, right?"
"Yes." Guo's mother answered cautiously.
Seeing how she spoke so lightly, everyone couldn't help but feel excited.
"Then what are you waiting for? Arrange the surgery as soon as possible? What a big deal. Seeing how solemn your faces are, is there something else I don't know about?"
She saw everyone looking at her in confusion.
"Why are you looking at me like this? I should finish the operation early and be discharged from the hospital early so I can go home. Is it Dr. Zhao who will perform the operation on me?"
"Are you - aren't you scared at all?"
"What's there to be afraid of? I won't die."
"My good daughter, don't scare mom about the immortality."
"Haha, what I said is true. There is a protector here to suppress demons and demons for me, and a male god is doing the surgery for me personally. There is nothing to worry about. Don't worry, Mom and Dad."
Dharma protector refers to Zhu Yan.
The male god refers to Zhao Jiangsheng.
Judging by the understatement she spoke, everyone knew her character, and indeed she did not take this seriously. Zhu Yan said in her heart: Qiqi, you will be fine.

Zhao Jiangsheng felt as if someone was following him and spying on him.
I feel like this on the way back from get off work, and I also feel like this when walking in the community garden with my parents at night.
The community he lives in is called Binjiang Impression. Although it is not the most upscale, it is considered relatively good in Jiangcheng. It has a large green area and complete supporting facilities. It faces Binjiang Road and has a large shopping mall, school, vegetable market, and Lijiangcheng behind it.
The People's Hospital is not far away, with river views and shopping very convenient. Zhao Jiangsheng was very satisfied and brought his parents to live here. They were also satisfied. The old couple usually had nothing to do except cooking. They have been here for more than half a year.
My body has also put on a lot of weight.
Zhao Yunshan said, "No, it can't be longer. You need to move more. So, I didn't go out at night, but now I have to come down for a walk. All three of my family came down tonight."
Zhao Jiangsheng was walking slowly in the garden with his parents. He always felt like someone was peeping at him, but when he looked around and behind him, he didn't find anyone suspicious. Could it be that he was too allergic?
