Patient's question:
I am a male, 30 years old. Ten years ago, during a routine physical examination, I was unintentionally diagnosed with a brain venous vascular malformation. I then consulted a doctor at the Shandong Imaging Research Center. The doctor mentioned signs of calcification and suggested gamma knife treatment. Feeling that it wasn’t too serious, and not being knowledgeable about medicine, I didn’t seek treatment and have been safe for the past ten years.May I ask if it’s okay not to treat it in the future? I have a fear of surgery and also financial constraints, so I’m in a hurry. Could a kind doctor please provide an answer for me? I have a venous vascular malformation, with no symptoms. Occasionally, I experience dizziness, but it’s not severe. It has been diagnosed for ten years now...
Thank you, doctor!!! May good people live in peace!!!
Doctor's answer:
A brain venous vascular malformation can rupture and cause bleeding. It is recommended that you undergo treatment. Treatment options include gamma knife treatment, interventional embolization therapy, and surgical treatment. It is advisable to visit the Tianjin Hospital in Beijing to consult with an expert on the best treatment approach.
