Sudden eye blindness is a brain disease

Our reporter Feng Jincan Correspondent Zhang Yichen

Recently, in the emergency room of Lili Eye Hospital in Henan Province, a male patient said anxiously to the hospital's attending physician Huang Zixu: "Doctor, my eyes suddenly can't see it, please help me see it!"

Huang Zixu quickly questioned the patient: the patient was in his 50s this year. He usually had a good health. He worked in other places all year round and had not found any problems. Four days ago, the eyes were found to be blurred, and something suddenly could not be seen 1 day ago. The family immediately sent him to Henan Provincial Eye Hospital.

After understanding the basic situation, Huang Zixu conducted an eye examination of the patient and found that the patient could not feel the lights near the eyes in the dark environment. Exception.

When thinking about the possible condition, Huang Zixu suddenly saw that the patient's fingers were very thick, and the name of a disease suddenly flashed in his mind -pituitary tumor combined with strokes to compress the cross, and the limb hyperamsia.

He also asked the patient to take off the mask (checked the health code and body temperature), and found that the patient had a long face, increased his nose, and thicker lips. In order to further clarify the diagnosis, Huang Zixu suggested that patients improve relevant examinations such as MRI in the saddle area (pituitary department) as soon as possible, and arrange neurology consultation. Soon, MRI results confirmed the existence of pituitary tumors.

Patinoma is one of the urgency that may be life -threatening. Patients live in neurosurgery in Henan Provincial People's Hospital and performed general anesthesia on the same day. The patient's vision gradually improved after surgery, and he could feel the manual in front of him.

Why does the patient's brain occupy a blind eye? Huang Zixu said that after receiving the image information, the eye information passed through a long channel, that is, the path of the view, and gradually passed the information to the pillow leaf in the pillow, so that we can feel the image in front of the eyes. The pituitary gland is located in the cross -eye information, that is, the above of the intersection. When the pituitary is abnormal, it can compress the cross, which causes the eyes to block different degrees of dark shadows. A pituitary can secrete an important component -growth hormone. In normal development, growth hormone can promote bone, internal organs, and whole body growth. Promote protein synthesis and make the body tall. However, the pituitary disease occurs, such as pituitary tumors, excessive secretion of growth hormone. Before the bone bone closure is closed, it can cause giant disease. After the closure of the bone bone closure can cause limb hyperamstellies, manifested as a gradual bone growth, increased hands and feet, face surface, face surface Skills increase, wide mouth and nose. In addition to pituitary tumors, other diseases such as cerebral infarction, cerebral hemorrhage, and multiple sclerosis optic neuritis can cause abnormalities in different parts of the vision, which causes different degrees of vision to decrease or even cause permanent blindness.

Huang Zixu reminded that when we have sudden vision decline, unclear vision, lack of vision, and even sudden blindness, in addition to checking eye diseases, we must also consider whether there is the occurrence of the above intracranial lesions. The patient's condition can be relieved in time to avoid life.
