Transforming Lives with Brain Stroke-Craniotomy with hematoma evacuation
A craniotomy with hematoma evacuation is a surgical procedure performed to treat a brain stroke caused by intracerebral hemorrhage (bleeding within the brain). This procedure involves removing part of the skull to access the brain and evacuate the accumulated blood (hematoma) that is causing pressure on the brain tissues. The goal is to relieve intracranial pressure, prevent further brain damage, and improve the patient's neurological function. Timely intervention is crucial to minimize brain damage and improve outcomes.

Symptoms
- Sudden severe headache
- Loss of consciousness
- Vomiting
- Seizures
- Weakness or numbness on one side of the body
- Speech difficulties
- Vision problems
- Confusion or altered mental state
Causes
- High blood pressure (hypertension)
- Trauma or head injury
- Blood vessel abnormalities (e.g., aneurysms, arteriovenous malformations)
- Blood clotting disorders
- Use of blood thinners (anticoagulants)
- Brain tumors
- Amyloid angiopathy
The typical steps involved in Brain Stroke-Craniotomy with hematoma evacuation
- Preoperative Assessment: Includes neurological exams, CT or MRI scans, blood tests, and discussions about the procedure, risks, and benefits.
- Anesthesia: General anesthesia is administered to ensure the patient is unconscious and pain-free during surgery.
- Craniotomy: The surgeon makes an incision in the scalp and removes a section of the skull to access the brain.
- Hematoma Evacuation: The accumulated blood is carefully removed to relieve pressure on the brain.
- Closure and Recovery: The skull bone is replaced, the incision is closed, and the patient is monitored in the ICU for immediate recovery. Postoperative care includes managing intracranial pressure, preventing infections, and rehabilitative therapy.
