Patient's question:
Hello doctor, the patient is my father. Recently, he suddenly became paralyzed on both sides. His lower limbs have almost no sense of pain, while his upper limbs can still move, but his fingers are not very flexible. He has no medical history before this. Hello, what could be the cause of sudden paralysis without a medical history?Doctor's answer:
Generally, sudden crashes are considered to be caused by cerebrovascular diseases. It is recommended to seek medical attention promptly when possible, undergo a thorough head CT scan to examine the condition of the blood vessels, and check for neurological issues that may have triggered this condition. Around this time, it is crucial to actively provide basic care, maintain skin cleanliness, and prevent the recurrence of pressure sores. Avoid maintaining the same posture for extended periods.
