Blood Clot

Blood clots are gel-like clusters of blood that occur as blood shifts from liquid to partially solid in your arteries and veins. Clotting is a natural body process that prevents your body from bleeding excessively when you are injured. Blood clots are divided into two varieties. Clots that stay put and don’t move (thrombosis) and those that break away from where they formed and travel to different parts of your body (thrombosis) (embolism). A blood clot can be fatal depending on what it blocks or where it moves. A blood clot is a clump of blood that has changed from a liquid to a gel-like or semisolid state. Clotting is a necessary process that can prevent you from losing too much blood in certain instances, such as when you’re injured or cut. When a clot forms inside one of your veins, it won’t always dissolve on its own. This can be a very dangerous and even life-threatening situation.

Carotid Endarterectomy

Glomus tumor is a benign soft tissue neoplasm that develops from the glomus body and appears in the second to fourth decade of life. It accounts for 1-5 percent of all upper extremity soft tissue tumors. A glomus is a part of the skin’s dermis layer that aids in thermoregulation. The glomus body is an arterio-venous shunt surrounded by a connective tissue capsule that is abundant in the fingers and toes. During cold temperatures, the glomus body shunts blood away from the skin’s surface, preventing heat loss.

STA-MCA bypass Carotid Stenosis

Every nerve in your body is protected by a layer of tissue called a sheath. A schwannoma is a tumor that grows in the sheaths of nerves in your peripheral nervous system, or the parts of your nervous system that aren’t in your brain or spinal cord. You may hear schwannomas referred to as neurilemomas, neuromas,or neurolemomas.
Schwannomas are usually benign, meaning they’re harmless. In rare cases, they can be malignant, or cancerous. Malignant schwannomas are also called soft tissue sarcomas.
Most people with schwannomas only have one, but it’s possible to have more. Multiple schwannomas are usually a result of schwannomatosis.
This is the least common type of a rare condition called neurofibromatosis, a genetic disorder that causes tumors in the nervous system. Another form, called neurofibromatosis type 2 (NF2), can also cause schwannomas.

Moyamoya Disease

Moyamoya disease is an increasing and chronic artery disease of the brain. The constriction of these blood vessels in people with moyamoya disease causes blockages, leading to ischemic stroke, hemorrhagic stroke, and seizures. The Japanese word “moyamoya” means “puff of smoke,” referring to the tangle of tiny vessels that evolved to compensate for the blockage. Moyamoya illness was first discovered in Japan and is now prevalent in people worldwide; it is more prevalent in Asia than in North America and Europe. The disease is most common in children, although it can also affect adults.

Brain Hemorrhage

Bleeding in the brain is also referred to as a brain hemorrhage. A brain bleed, also known as an intracranial hemorrhage, is a medical disorder. It’s a medical emergency that needs to be dealt with right away. Because the skull surrounds the brain, any leaking blood from bleeding can pressure and harm the brain tissues. A hemorrhagic stroke happens when a blood artery in the brain leaks or breaks, causing bleeding. Hemo is the Greek word for blood. “Blood bursting forth” is the exact definition of hemorrhage. Cerebral hemorrhages, intracerebral hemorrhages, and intracranial hemorrhages are all terms used to describe brain hemorrhages. They account for roughly 13% of all strokes.

Hemangioma

A hemangioma is a bright red birthmark that shows up at birth or in the first or second week of life. It looks like a rubbery bump and is made up of extra blood vessels in the skin. A hemangioma can occur anywhere on the body, but most commonly appears on the face, scalp, chest or back. Treatment for a baby’s hemangioma (infantile hemangioma) usually isn’t needed as it fades over time. A child who has this condition during infancy usually has little visible trace of the growth by age 10. You may want to consider treatment if a hemangioma interferes with seeing, breathing or other functions. A hemangioma is a red birthmark that appears at birth or within the first week or two of life. It’s formed up of additional blood vessels in the skin and looks like a rubbery mass. Hemangiomas can appear anywhere on the body, although they’re most frequent on the face, scalp, chest, and back. A baby’s hemangioma (infantile hemangioma) typically does not require treatment because it disappears over time; by the age of ten, a child who has had this syndrome since infancy usually has minimal visual evidence of the growth. However, if a hemangioma interferes with your ability to see, breathe, or perform other functions, you should seek therapy.

Cavernous Malformation

Cavernous malformations in the brain are collections of abnormally small blood vessels and bigger, stretched-out, thin-walled blood vessels packed with blood. Blood vessel abnormalities can also arise in the spinal cord, the brain’s covering (dura), or the skull’s nerves. Cavernous malformations range220 in size from a quarter of an inch to three to four inches. Blood can flow from cavernous malformations, causing bleeding in the brain or spinal cord (hemorrhage). Depending on where a cavernous malformation in a person’s nervous system is located, brain or spinal hemorrhages can cause a variety of more visible neurological symptoms. The cause of cerebral cavernous malformations is unknown. However, about 20% of persons with cerebral cavernous malformations have the familial form, which means they got the disease from their parents. In addition, researchers have discovered genetic abnormalities that cause cerebral cavernous malformations.

Arteriovenous Fistula

Arteries and viens form a network of oxygen supply through blood from heart to brain. While arteries carry orxygen rich blood, veins carry depleted blood back to lungs and heart. The Arteriovenous Malformation is a condition caused by abnormal tangling of connecting arteries and veins, because of which blood flow and oxygen circulation is disrupted. The blood vessels that for Arteriovenous Malformation can rupture, If it happens in brain it can cause hemmohage, stroke or brain damage.

Aneurysm

A brain aneurysm is a bulge or ballooning in a blood vessel in the brain. It often looks like a berry hanging on a stem. A brain aneurysm can leak or rupture, causing bleeding into the brain (hemorrhagic stroke). Most often a ruptured brain aneurysm occurs in the space between the brain and the thin tissues covering the brain. This type of hemorrhagic stroke is called a subarachnoid hemorrhage. A ruptured aneurysm quickly becomes life-threatening and requires prompt medical treatment. Most brain aneurysms, however, don’t rupture, create health problems or cause symptoms. Such aneurysms are often detected during tests for other conditions.

Cerebrovascular treatment refers to medical interventions aimed at managing conditions affecting the blood vessels that supply blood to the brain. Let’s explore further:

  1. Types of Cerebrovascular Accidents (Strokes):

    • Ischemic Stroke: This is the most common type of stroke. It occurs when a blood clot blocks a blood vessel, preventing blood and oxygen from reaching a part of the brain. There are two subtypes:
      • Embolic Stroke: A clot forms elsewhere in the body and travels to the brain, causing a blockage.
      • Thrombotic Stroke: The clot forms directly within a brain blood vessel.
    • Hemorrhagic Stroke: Here, a blood vessel ruptures, leading to bleeding in the brain or its surrounding membrane.
  2. Symptoms of a Stroke:

    • Recognizing stroke symptoms is crucial for prompt treatment. Remember the acronym “FAST”:
      • Face: Check for drooping on one side of the face.
      • Arm: Observe if one arm drifts downward when both arms are held out.
      • Speech: Listen for abnormal or slurred speech.
      • Time: Call 911 immediately if any of these symptoms are present.
  3. Diagnosis:

    • Healthcare providers perform a thorough physical examination, assessing strength, reflexes, vision, speech, and senses.
  4. Treatment:

    • Ischemic Stroke: Treatment focuses on restoring blood flow. Options include clot-dissolving medications (thrombolytics) or mechanical clot removal (thrombectomy).
    • Hemorrhagic Stroke: Management aims to control bleeding and prevent further damage.
    • Prevention: Lifestyle changes, blood pressure management, and anticoagulant medications play a crucial role.

Remember, seeking immediate medical attention is essential for better outcomes in stroke cases.
