Patient's question:
The patient was diagnosed with high intracranial pressure in June 2007, which caused optic disc edema, but had no other symptoms. However, due to certain reasons, the patient did not receive timely treatment. Upon confirmation, the cause of the high intracranial pressure was found to be due to a venous sinus thrombosis. However, because of the prolonged duration, surgery was not possible. The patient underwent a craniotomy and bone removal surgery on the evening of December 29, 2007, but the intracranial pressure is still somewhat high. The question is: has the optic nerve atrophy been completely? Is there still light sensitivity? Can it recover?Doctor's answer:
After the condition stabilizes, encourage the patient to engage in active exercise. Encourage early bed-to-chair transfers and provide training guidance starting from getting up, balancing the affected limb, standing, and walking. Gradually increase the range and frequency of activities. Finally, assist with training for climbing and descending stairs to promote movement in the affected limb, which facilitates functional recovery.Traditional Chinese medicine can be used to repair damaged brain cells. Guilong Nao Kang is rich in neurotrophic factors, small-molecule peptides, and various amino acids. These active ingredients directly act on brain cells, promoting protein synthesis, combating cerebral cortex hypoxia, improving brain energy metabolism, and accelerating cerebral blood circulation. It also enhances the growth and development of central nervous system cells, repairs central nervous system cell damage, inhibits apoptosis of central nervous system cells, and increases the number of central nervous system cells.
