Men's intracranial growth of two tumors at the same time, doctors go to the 6 -hour surgery to "demolish bombs" smoothly

The Yangtze River Daily Da Wuhan client July 26th. The headache lasted for two years. Recently, the left limb is hemiplegia. I did not expect that it was three "bombs" in the brain. Patient life. Recently, Zhao Yan, director of neurosurgery of the Fourth Hospital of Wuhan, led the medical team. After 6 hours of fine "demolition", the patient has now turned danger.

The limbs are weak for two months, and the sixty -year -old man found intracranial tumors

Mr. Zhou, 66, is from Jingmen. About two years ago, Mr. Zhou began to feel severe pain on his cheeks and heads. "At first I thought it was toothache, and a tooth decay was pulled." Mr. Zhou recalled that the pain was still not relieved after the tooth extraction. He was diagnosed with "trigeminal neuralgia" when he was diagnosed with the diagnosis of the local hospital.

Two months ago, Mr. Zhou suddenly had symptoms such as left limb weakness and tinnitus. Mr. Zhou medical treatment again. This time, the doctor conducted a head magnetic resonance examination for him, and found that Mr. Zhou had a position in intracranial, suspected to be a tumor. Knowing that there may be tumors in intracranial, he also grew near the terrible brain stem. Mr. Zhou and his family immediately went to Wuhan for medical treatment.

In the neurosurgery of the hospital, a enhanced examination of magnetic resonance found that the position near the brain stems of Mr. Zhou was about the size of the pigeon eggs and had compressed the brain stem. According to Director Zhao Yan of the department, the main function of the brain stem is to maintain individual life, including important physiological functions such as heartbeat, breathing, digestion, body temperature, and sleep, which can be called a "center of life." If the tumor continues to compress the brain stem, the patient will have physical activity disorders, gradually coma, and even stop breathing and heartbeat. To curb the progress of the disease, surgery is required as soon as possible.

Two "bombs" were found again during the operation, and the doctor was demolished for 6 hours

The position of tumor growth is destined to have great difficulty and risk. The hospital's neurosurgeon conducted a detailed imaging examination for Mr. Zhou, determined the nerves and blood vessels in the tumor and surrounding areas, and formulated surgical plans and emergency plans. According to Director Zhao Yan, the patient's brain stem has multiple important nerves and vascular riding across the tumor. The blood vessels and nerves must be closely protected during the operation. Once the cranial nerve is damaged, it will cause severe neurological disorders, and the blood vessel rupture will cause brain stem ischemia or bleeding or even directly die.

After detailed preparation, on the morning of the 20th, Director Zhao Yan led the medical team to perform surgery for the patient. During the operation, Director Zhao Yan found that Mr. Zhou's intracranial "bomb" was more than one!

"There are two smaller tumors that are squeezed by large tumors, and imaging examination cannot be found." Dr. Zhao Yan introduced that under a microscope, the doctor detached the tumor with normal brain tissue in an orderly manner, carefully and carefully, and completely removed the tumor at 6 hours, without damage to the important nerves and blood vessels around. After the operation, Mr. Zhou successfully broke through the barrier. He has regained consciousness and his limbs are normal. The tumor tissue taken out during the operation has undergone pathological examinations to confirm that the larger one is meningoma, and the two smaller two are trigeminal nerve and vagus nerve sheath tumors.

According to Director Zhao Yan, Mr. Zhou's intracranial tumors are benign tumors, and the incidence of general population is not high. At the same time, it is rare to grow two brain tumors. The left limb is weak because its meningoma compresses the brain and stem; the facial pain for many years is caused by the growth of nerve sheath tumors on the trigeminal nerve.
