my grandmother went into a coma caused by hepatic encephalopathy. she was completely fine until her hands started trembling and she started vomiting one morning. there were no symptoms before that. she does have liver cirrhosis. she was taken to a hospital approximately 12 hours after this happened and placed into an ICU with a ventilator. she regained consciousness in about 24 hours, after the ammonia had been flushed out from the brain and the chest. she was in critical condition, but has been recovering well. now off the ventilator she does have noticeable personality changes yet good memory. this to me is extremely scary. she also seems less aware of the environment and takes longer to answer. could these affects be temporary or permanent?

Female | 70

Hepatic encephalopathy, which is the cause of her coma, can result in some temporary changes in personality and slow thinking. This is because the liver is not functioning properly and the toxins are building up in the brain. However, these effects might be lessened with treatment and time.

It is always best to consult with her doctor to see what's the best course of action is for her. However, medications such as oxybutynin, tolterodine, and solifenacin may be effective in treating urinary incontinence. Additionally, physical therapy and pelvic floor exercises may help improve her walking and bladder control.

Your seizures are related to past brain surgery. It's good that you're taking medication regularly to manage them. However, it's important to visit a neurologist for regular check-ups. They can review your treatment and ensure that you're on the right medication.

Female | 16

The brain is protected by the skull, but there are no specific circular or ring-shaped bones associated with the limbic system and hypothalamus. These regions are part of the brain's structure and function independently within the skull's protection. And the brain's structure consists of various regions and structures that work together to regulate functions such as emotions, memory, and homeostasis, with the protection provided by the skull.

Female | 52

Glioblastoma is an aggressive form of brain cancer, which is not feasible for us to deal with. The disease may result in symptoms viz. severe headaches, nausea, and changes in the body's functioning. Conventional methods in the stream of treatment rather than the mainstay are therapies using radiation and chemotherapy drugs of oral forms like tablets for chemotherapy. Both approaches of treatment are prevalent to slow down the growth of the cancer and manage symptoms. Keeping the neurosurgeons instructions in mind and monitoring her condition at regular intervals is the only way to achieve a favorable outcome.

NF1 may bring about tumor formation in one's body, just like the one that grew in the abdomen. Regrettably, there is no cure for NF1 at the moment. Treatment options may include the surgery of the mass, chemotherapy, or other medication to relieve symptoms and slow down the formation of the tumor. It is necessary to consult with an oncologist regarding all the alternatives to find the most suitable option for the patient.

Do my son need shunt surgery

Male | 19

I cannot provide personalized medical advice or diagnose online. If you are concerned about your son's health and whether he needs shunt surgery, consult with a professional pediatrician or a neurosurgeon. Shunt surgery is recommended for individuals with hydrocephalus or other conditions that cause an abnormal accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in the brain, leading to increased pressure and damage to brain tissue.

Yesterday 13 July 2024 I received MRI report of my wife who did MRI because feeling pressure on jaw and right side of the head, she also feel drowsiness like she is floating. She doesn't have sever headache but above mentioned symptoms have been common through they day for a month now. It gets worse when she is stressed. The MRI showed she had "large left fronto-temporal arachnoid cyst that measures approx 8.4cm in craniocaudal extent, 5cm from side to side and 5.4 cm in greatest antero-posterior dimension, it's causing hypoplasia of the left fronto-temporal lobes" Very worried about this, is this very serious? When do we know it's serious? What should we do about it? What are the surgery options? Is it better to do surgery or leave it as it is?

Female | 31

The problems your wife has are most likely due to the arachnoid cyst. This is a small, fluid-filled pouch that develops in the brain and may lead to pressure and dizziness. Although very serious, not every arachnoid cyst requires surgery. This issue in the long term may be diminished by consistent monitoring by a neurosurgeon to check for early warning signs. In some cases, the operation is an answer to avoid the worsening of the symptoms or the visible growth of the cyst. The road to recovery can provide the most appropriate therapy options with a neurosurgeon to come up with the best possible solution.

Sir, our patient was told by the Drs on the eve of the feast. He suffered a cerebral hemorrhage due to sudden high blood pressure. He was operated on and a drain was inserted. He was intubated for the first 3 days, and reintubated 4 days later. It was informed that our patient reacted to pain but could not wake up because he was unconscious. We watched him react to some reactions, but his doctors say that these reactions are meaningless, for example, when I tickled the bottom of our patient's right foot, I saw that his right toes made small movements and I saw him open his eyes. and I looked from left to right with eye movements and I saw tears flowing from my left eye, I couldn't see this feeling in the left foot. When we wet it with cotton, I saw mouth and lip movements move, I saw movements that were disturbed by thirst, but there was no speech, but the first 10 legs of his body were very swollen and cold. In the last week, keep the body on fire, from the feet to the head, the body temperature is very high. Our patient was operated on the 14th day.

The fat-like stitches you are telling me about could be swollen tissue from the injury. The head injury side effects like irritated hair roots and swelling are the symptoms that would show up after a head injury. At the point of not seeking help for yourself, you put yourself at a higher risk. A doctor can diagnose the problem and pick the best remediation method for you which can be medication, wound care, or surgery.
