Patient's question:
Last December 31st, I underwent a major cerebral aneurysm surgery at the base, and I was discharged ten days ago. My left side, from the face to the hand, is completely paralyzed, and I am not mentally clear. The scalp over the area where my skull was removed used to be concave. Yesterday, I noticed that when lying down, the scalp would slightly protrude, but it's fine when sitting. The CT scan indicated mild hydrocephalus.Doctor's answer:
Disease Analysis: The purpose of the surgery is to establish a cerebrospinal fluid circulation pathway and relieve the accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid.Guidance: Craniotomy is required, with low risk and significant postoperative effects. The surgical shunt tube is usually buried under the skin.
