What are the sequelae of aneurysm surgery

Tumor is a disease with a relatively high incidence in our lives, and it is also a disease that many people are afraid of. Among them, aneurysm is a disease with a very high incidence, and it is also easy to appear in different parts. Once a tumor occurs, it is treated by surgery, and postoperative care and rehabilitation are also relatively important. If the recovery is not good, sequelae are very likely to occur. Let’s take a look at the sequelae of aneurysm surgery.

What are the sequelae of aneurysm surgery?

1. Symptoms of aneurysm rupture and bleeding. Once an aneurysm ruptures and bleeds, the clinical manifestation is severe subarachnoid hemorrhage. The onset is sudden and the patient suffers from severe headaches, which are described as "the head is about to explode." Frequent vomiting, profuse sweating, and elevated body temperature; stiff neck and positive Klinefelter's sign. Impairment of consciousness or even coma may also occur. Some patients experience triggers such as fatigue, emotional excitement, etc. before bleeding, while others have no obvious triggers or develop the disease during sleep.

2. Focal symptoms. Oculomotor nerve palsy is common in internal carotid artery-posterior communicating artery aneurysms and posterior cerebral artery aneurysms, and is manifested by unilateral ptosis, pupil dilation, inability to adduct, look up or down, and loss of direct and indirect light reactions. Sometimes focal symptoms appear before subarachnoid hemorrhage and are considered to be precursor symptoms of aneurysmal bleeding, such as mild migraine, orbital pain, followed by oculomotor nerve palsy. At this time, one should be alert to the subsequent subarachnoid hemorrhage.

If aneurysm bleeding in the middle cerebral artery forms a hematoma, or if aneurysm bleeding in other parts of the body causes cerebral vasospasm and cerebral infarction, the patient may experience hemiplegia, motor or sensory aphasia. Giant aneurysms affect the visual pathway, and patients may have visual impairment

The above is an introduction to the sequelae of aneurysm surgery. After understanding it, we know that aneurysms must be treated in a timely manner. After all, surgery will cause certain harm to the body, and postoperative recovery is also crucial. After surgery, you must pay attention to rest more and ensure adequate sleep, and eat more light foods.
