alert!Women's facial features are deformed and hands and feet become bigger, not to get blessing, but this disease!

Ms. Li in Anhui

10 years ago, I felt that my appearance was changing quietly

Following features deformation, big hands and feet become larger

She always thought she was blessed

Until recently

Due to blood pressure and blood glucose abnormalities to the hospital for examination

Only the "culprit" that caused changes in your appearance

It was because the head of the brain had a special tumor!

After inspection, Ms. Li suffers from a special brain tumor: growing hormone pituitary adenomas. It will secrete a large amount of abnormal growth hormone, which will cause changes in the appearance of thick hands and feet, hypertrophy of the nose and lips, and protruding cheekbones. It will also affect the heart and other organs. No timely treatment will be in danger of life.

Ma Chiyuan, director of neurosurgery of the Eastern Theater General Hospital, introduced: "The most impact of this tumor is our heart. After the heart increases, its valve will not increase, which will cause the valve to be closed. , I often reduce life due to heart problems, and even died early. "

Subsequently, the doctor decided to use minimally invasive technology to remove the pituitary tumor of Ms. Li's brain under the nasal cavity. Director Ma Chuan said: "There is only a thin layer of bone between the nasal cavity and the skull cavity, which can be connected. We can't see any incision on the body surface. The incision is in the nasal cavity. The patient recovers very quickly."

After surgery, Ms. Li's secondary hypertension and high blood sugar disappeared and resumed her normal life.

Doctors remind that the incidence of pituitary tumors ranks second in intracranial tumors. In addition to endocrine symptoms, tumor compression can cause patients to decrease in vision and vision defect. Young female patients will experience irregular menstruation, infertility, etc. These symptoms will occur. The cause cannot be identified, and the possibility of pituitary tumors must be considered.

At present, with the continuous development of micro -invasion technology of neurosurgery, patients with intracranial tumors such as pituitary tumors do not need to surgery in many cases during treatment.

Director Ma Chuan introduced: "For example, endoscopic nasal surgery is not only suitable for pituitary tumors, but also becomes the first choice for tumor such as spinal tumor and craniopharynaoma. , A long catheter can embolize the aneurysm. "

He Zi'an, Dean of the Eastern Theater General Hospital, said: "The future surgery of neurosurgery must be developing in a more and more subtle direction, which is equivalent to‘ dancing on the tip of the knife and making articles on porcelain ’.”
