Patient's question:
Recently, I don't know why I can't sleep, which greatly affects my work efficiency. My friend recommended that I go to the neurology department for a check-up. How is the treatment for spinal cord cavernous malformation?Doctor's answer:
For patients with larger (hollow cavities) and spinal canal obstruction, cervical laminectomy decompression surgery can be performed. If there are associated deformities related to the cause, such as atlantooccipital deformities or tonsillar herniation of the cerebellum, suboccipital decompression and surgical correction may be considered. Spinal cord hollow drainage can also be performed, primarily to remove the fluid within the cavity, reduce pressure on the spinal cord, alleviate symptoms, and slow the progression of the disease. For mild cases, follow-up observation may be sufficient.Spinal cord (hollow syndrome) is a chronic and difficult-to-treat condition. If we discover that we have the disease, it is essential to seek immediate medical attention for systematic examination. Only in this way can we receive targeted treatment and regain health as early as possible.
