The guy "falls into the pillow" to massage, the body suddenly paralyzed

A young man in Shenzhen went to "massage" after "falling pillow". He did not expect that the "falling pillow" was not cured, and he was "hemiplegia". Recently, the spine orthopedic department of the General Hospital of Shenzhen University performed a general anesthesia anterior cervical spine surgery for the man to restore the "neurological function" for it. At present, his right hemiplegia has recovered. Zhang Zhihui, chief physician of the Department of Spine Orthopedic Medicine, General Hospital of Shenzhen University, reminded that massage massage has the risk of aggravating disc herniation. People with a neck, shoulder, waist and leg pain with disc herniation must be cautious.

After the massage, the guy's right body was paralyzed

Xiao He (pseudonym) is a staff member of a company in Shenzhen, engaged in foreign trade exports. Due to working in front of the computer all year round, local muscles such as his neck and back have long -term tension and strain. Occasionally, his shoulders and necks were sore. Recently, his neck suddenly "pillowed", hard and painful. He crooked his neck during the day and couldn't sleep well at night, and the "pillow" dragged for more than half a month.

Under the recommendation of a friend, Xiaohe found a massage physiotherapy store and specially selected a massage package for the neck. Xiao He recalled, "Master Massage's hand is a bit strong. After a while, he operated and hurt, but it really felt relaxed afterwards." After a few days, Xiaohe went to massage again.

One morning on the third day after the second massage, Xiao He just bent down and put things, and suddenly felt that the "muscles" from the right body from the neck to the waist seemed to be stunned. At that time, he didn't care too much and continued to work. As the work gradually was busy, Xiao He gradually felt a little "blunt" on his right half, his arms were soft and weak. Suddenly, he felt that his fingers were not flexible, and he was not controlled when operating the computer mouse. Xiao He suddenly panicked. He barely sent information to his family and colleagues with his left hand. In just about 10 minutes, his right hand could not move at all!

▲ The right arm was unable to lift the right arm before surgery.

The situation was critical, and enthusiastic colleagues quickly sent him to the General Hospital of Shenzhen University. During the consultation, Xiao He's right body was already "paralyzed". On the morning, the "worker" who was still alive and jumped. At this time, he could only sit on a wheelchair and was pushed to the gate of the emergency department of Shenzhen University General Hospital.

Cervical disc herniation compresses the neck marrow and causes the right limb hemiplegia

After the consultation, the doctor preliminarily judged: Xiao why may it be a "stroke". The hospital immediately launched the green channel to check the skull CT. However, he did not find that he had hemorrhagic lesions in his brain for the time being. Later, he was quickly included in the neurological ward with "acute cerebral infarction".

Normal people's muscle strength should be level 5, but Xiao He's right upper limb muscle strength is level 0, and the right lower limb muscle strength is only 3. "It is necessary to improve the brain circulation as soon as possible!" The chief physician team of Li Fangming, the Department of Neurology of the hospital, immediately gave anti -platelets, improved circulation, nutritional nerves and other treatment, and quickly improved the examination of skulls and cervical spine magnetic resonance, which basically excluded the possibility of cerebral infarction.

Since it is not a cerebral blood vessel block, what is the culprit that causes the hemiplegia? The result of the image examination of the magnetic resonance of the cervical spine gives the answer. Progressive symptoms (C3/4 segment) "compress the neck marrow, which leads to the hemiplegia of the right limb.

▲ Doctors analyze the patient's condition.

Lift "oppression" to promote neurological repair

It was found that after the cervical disc was taken out, Xiaohe was quickly transferred to the spine osteoscopic department of the hospital. After discussion of the spinal orthopedic department of the spine orthopedic, the academy believes that it is necessary to surgery as soon as possible, and to relieve the oppression of the spinal cord as soon as possible to help Xiao He promote the repair of neurological function. After obtaining the consent of Xiao He and his family, Zhang Zhihui, chief physician of the Department of Spinal Orthopedic, and Lu Wencan, deputy chief physician, immediately performed the cervical spine surgery under the general anesthesia.

During the operation, the doctors found that the intervertebral discs in the C3/4 segment of Xiaoshe had obvious oppression on his cervical spine section spinal cord. During the operation, the doctor completely cut off the "intervertebral disc" and fixed it in the steel plate. The operation lasted only 1 hour, and the surgical incision was 5 cm.

Zhang Zhihui introduced that the front surgery of the cervical spine is less traumatic, less bleeding, and short time. It can directly and completely remove the coercion in front of the spinal cord, and the postoperative effect is good and recovered quickly.

On the first day after surgery, Xiao He's fingers and arms felt. His right upper limb muscle strength returned to level 2, and his right lower limb muscle strength returned to level 4. On the 6th day after surgery, Xiao He's upper limb muscle strength returned to level 4, and the right lower limb muscle strength was restored to level 5! The discharge was smoothly discharged.

One month after the operation, Xiaohe returned to the clinic of the clinic of the spine osteopathy department of the Shenzhen University Hospital again. His right -handed finger and arm movement was free, and his muscle strength had completely returned to normal. After evaluation, Xiao He has recovered and can return to work normally.

Massage or aggravate the risk of disc herniation

Zhang Zhihui, chief physician of the Department of Spine Orthopedic Medicine, General Hospital of Shenzhen University, reminded that massage massage has the risk of aggravating disc herniation. People with disc hernmarket protrusions must choose massage massage. Zhang Zhihui has been engaged in clinical work in spinal surgery for more than 30 years. He has admitted many cases of disc herniation to protruding symptoms after massage and massage. In severe cases, limb paralysis may occur.

Zhang Zhihui said that not every patient can be like Xiao He. He has obtained a complete recovery of neurological function through the surgery "lucky".He said that even after surgery, many patients could not be fully recovered, and more or less residual limb pain or weakness, and even dysfunctional dysfunction, affecting life and work.Therefore, people with neck, shoulder, waist and leg pain must go to a regular hospital in time to check whether there is "disc herniation".If you are clearly diagnosed with disc herniation, you must choose massage mass carefully.Strictly follow the diagnosis and treatment plan of spinal surgeon in regular hospitals in order to obtain more secure and effective treatment.Shenzhen Evening News reporter Zhou Qian Correspondent Lu Wencan Yangliu
