Understanding the Causes of Brain Haemorrhage: A Critical Awareness Guide by Dr. Dilip S. Kiyawat (M.Ch. Neuro)


Brain haemorrhage, also known as intracranial bleeding, is a life-threatening condition that requires immediate medical attention. Often misunderstood and sometimes undiagnosed until it becomes critical, a brain haemorrhage occurs when an artery in the brain bursts, causing localized bleeding in the surrounding tissues.

This bleeding can kill brain cells and severely impact a person’s neurological functions. Dr. Dilip S. Kiyawat, an experienced and highly qualified neurosurgeon (M.Ch. Neuro), sheds light on the common causes of brain haemorrhage and offers professional guidance for consultation and treatment.

The most common causes of brain haemorrhage include:

🔹 Head Trauma: One of the leading causes of brain bleeding, especially in younger individuals and accident victims. Trauma caused by road accidents, falls, or any high-impact blow to the skull can rupture blood vessels in the brain, leading to internal bleeding.

🔹 High Blood Pressure (Hypertension):


Chronic high blood pressure weakens arterial walls, making them prone to rupture. This silent killer can slowly cause vessel damage, increasing the risk of spontaneous haemorrhages, especially in older adults.


🔹 Aneurysm: 


An aneurysm is a weak spot in the wall of a blood vessel that balloons out and fills with blood. When an aneurysm ruptures, it can cause a hemorrhagic stroke or brain haemorrhage. Aneurysms often go unnoticed until they burst, making them particularly dangerous.


🔹 Blood Vessel Abnormalities: 


Congenital or acquired abnormalities in the brain's vascular structure, such as arteriovenous malformations (AVMs), can lead to bleeding. These conditions are often undiagnosed until symptoms appear suddenly due to a rupture.


🔹 Blood or Bleeding Disorders: 


Conditions like haemophilia, leukemia, or even the use of blood-thinning medications (anticoagulants) can reduce the blood’s ability to clot, increasing the risk of internal bleeding, including in the brain.


 Why Early Diagnosis Matters


Brain haemorrhages can present with a variety of symptoms including sudden severe headache, nausea, vomiting, weakness, vision changes, confusion, and in severe cases, unconsciousness. Time is crucial. Early diagnosis through CT scans or MRIs and prompt surgical or medical intervention can significantly improve outcomes and prevent long-term neurological damage.

Spinal Tumors: What You Need to Know

Image
  Spinal tumors are abnormal growths that develop in or around the spinal cord and spine. They can significantly impact mobility, cause pain, and affect overall quality of life. Early diagnosis and expert care are essential for effective management and treatment. Understanding Spinal Tumors A spinal tumor can develop inside the spinal cord (intramedullary), outside the spinal cord but within the spinal canal (extramedullary), or in the vertebrae (vertebral tumors). These tumors may be benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous), and both types can pose serious health risks due to their potential impact on the nervous system. Essential Facts About Spinal Tumors Types of Spinal Tumors Matter Spinal tumors are categorized into: Primary Tumors – Originate in the spine or spinal cord. Secondary (Metastatic) Tumors – Spread from cancers in other parts of the body, such as breast, lung, or prostate cancer. Benign Tumors – Non-cancerous but can still cause serious complications.

Understanding Craniovertebral Junction Surgery: When and Why It Is Needed

Image
 The craniovertebral junction (CVJ) is a critical area at the base of the skull and the upper cervical spine. It plays a pivotal role in connecting the brain to the spinal cord and facilitating essential bodily functions such as breathing, movement, and coordination. Any abnormalities or damage in this area can lead to severe complications, making timely medical intervention crucial. One such intervention is craniovertebral junction surgery. What is Craniovertebral Junction Surgery? Craniovertebral junction surgery is a specialized neurosurgical procedure aimed at correcting structural abnormalities, stabilizing the region, or decompressing the brainstem and spinal cord in the CVJ area. The surgery is often complex due to the intricate anatomy and the vital structures involved. When is Craniovertebral Junction Surgery Needed? CVJ surgery is typically recommended for the following conditions: 1. Congenital Abnormalities Some individuals are born with structural defects in the cranio...

Comprehensive Guide to Herniated (Slipped) Disc Surgery and Recovery

Image
  What is a Herniated Disc? A herniated disc, commonly referred to as a "slipped disc," occurs when the soft, jelly-like center of an intervertebral disc pushes through a crack in the tougher outer layer. This can irritate nearby nerves, leading to pain, numbness, or weakness. The condition commonly affects the neck (cervical spine) or lower back (lumbar spine) and can significantly impact your mobility and quality of life. Symptoms of a Herniated Disc If you're experiencing any of the following symptoms, it could indicate a herniated disc: Persistent Back or Neck Pain Continuous pain in the lower back or neck is one of the most common symptoms. Tingling or Numbness in Arms or Legs A herniated disc can press against nerve roots, causing a tingling sensation or numbness along the affected nerve. Muscle Weakness Weakness in the muscles connected to the affected nerve can make daily activities difficult. Causes of a Herniated Disc Several factors can contribute to a herniate...
