blood clot brain surgery
🩺 What is a Brain Blood Clot?
A brain blood clot (also called intracranial hematoma) is a collection of blood inside the skull, usually caused by head injury, stroke, or bleeding disorders. It can increase pressure on the brain, causing serious damage.
✔️ Types of Intracranial Hematomas
✔️ Epidural Hematoma – bleeding between the skull and outer brain membrane
✔️ Subdural Hematoma – bleeding beneath the outer brain membrane
✔️ Intracerebral Hematoma – bleeding within the brain tissue itself
⚠️ When is Surgery Needed?
✔️ Large or expanding hematomas causing increased brain pressure
✔️ Neurological symptoms like unconsciousness, weakness, or seizures
✔️ Failure to improve with conservative treatment
✔️ Risk of permanent brain damage or death if untreated
🛠️ Surgical Treatment Options
✔️ Craniotomy
✔️ Opening the skull to remove the blood clot and relieve pressure
✔️ Allows direct visualization and evacuation of the hematoma
✔️ Usually done under general anesthesia
✔️ Burr Hole Drainage
✔️ Small holes drilled in the skull to drain blood and reduce pressure
✔️ Less invasive, often used for subdural hematomas
✔️ May be combined with catheter placement for ongoing drainage
🏥 What to Expect During Surgery
✔️ Performed by a skilled neurosurgeon in an operating room
✔️ Surgery duration varies from 1 to 3 hours depending on complexity
✔️ Close monitoring in ICU post-surgery
✔️ Supportive care including medications to control swelling and seizures
🕒 Recovery and Aftercare
✔️ Hospital stay typically 1–2 weeks or longer depending on severity
✔️ Physical, occupational, and speech therapy may be needed
✔️ Regular neurological assessments and imaging
✔️ Follow-up appointments to monitor healing and brain function
