To be precise, it's a cerebral arteriovenous malformation. Doctors in clinical practice sometimes have a habit of sparing words and sentences when communicating, but the other party can understand them anyway. You said they were all sent to neurosurgery for treatment, so it's not about brain function.
Cerebral arteriovenous malformation is very easy to understand literally. It means that the arteries and veins in the brain are abnormally deformed. Simply put, the arteries and veins become a lump.
Arteries and veins can be called the transportation system for blood flow in the human body. For example, if the traffic artery of a water pipe becomes numb, the result is nothing more than a blockage or a burst pipe.
Where does the cause of this disease come from?
After leaving pediatrics and returning to the adult department, we will find that we have to come back again to debate whether this disease is more of a congenital or acquired problem. This disease is generally believed to be caused by congenital problems in the angiogenesis process during the embryonic period.
Since the spinocerebellar degeneration we just mentioned is said to have genetic factors, it seems that neurosurgery is the hardest hit area for congenital diseases?
That’s not what it says. The mechanism of this disease is the inference of the embryonic medicine mentioned above, but this disease is often accompanied by other diseases. For example, various malignant brain tumors, infections and other factors also affect angiogenesis and become pathological, causing this
sick.
"Is this going to be a microneurosurgery to cut it off?" While listening to classmate Xie and Dr. Jin talking, Wei Shangquan and several other students followed and discussed together.
If it is a cerebral arteriovenous malformation, the most common surgical method in the past was to ligate the arteries that supply the blood to the "ma ball" in an attempt to starve the "ma ball" to death. Later, it was discovered that the recurrence rate of this surgery was very high, and now the method adopted
It's all about putting the "Ma Tuan" into a whole group.
Cutting off the "hemp balls" just proves once again that the precision of surgery can never withstand the cunning of the disease before it is fully heated, and can only be cut with one knife.
"He was hospitalized in the Department of Neurology and then transferred here." Classmates Pan Shihua and Geng picked up the group's medical records and quickly found the hospitalization medical records of their friend Dr. Jin. They opened it and glanced at it.
"Conservative treatment in the neurology department is not enough. Should I be transferred to the neurosurgery department to prepare for surgery?" Student Wei asked again if that was the case.
"Shang Quan, you have to know that if this disease is treated conservatively with internal medicine, surgery is generally not possible."
After being refuted by Classmates Pan and Geng, Classmate Wei once again realized that he was a scumbag.
No, it’s because the classmates in his class are so awesome.
Each one is more powerful than the other.
If you don’t believe it, take a look at what Xie, the strongest student in their class, has to say.
Xie, who had not seen the patient's medical records, was able to communicate with Dr. Jin without any hindrance: "After hydrocephalus was treated conservatively for a period of time, cerebral arteriovenous malformations were discovered. In this way, internal medicine can never solve hydrocephalus and the condition is complicated.
If the condition tends to worsen, the only option is surgical treatment of hydrocephalus. At the same time, conservative treatment of cerebral arteriovenous malformation will be performed to see if it can be improved, and then we can make next steps. Maybe these two diseases have mutual influence."
"Have you seen my friend?" Dr. Jin naturally thought that she had seen the patient, otherwise she didn't say how she would have known it was hydrocephalus.
It cannot be said that hydrocephalus and cerebral arteriovenous malformations are completely unrelated, but it is generally difficult for people to associate them with each other.
Xie Wanying denied: "No. I came back to the Neurosurgery Department on the first day. When I came here, I passed by the nursing station. When I greeted the nurse sisters, I took a look at the patient list card at the nursing station."
