Hi all...
M back...
Past few days I am in a very different mental state.... reason being my husband's health...
Since October last year he has been experiencing seizures... His third; ie, last seizure got him hospitalised in ICU, in an emergency...
To check reasons for the same our family physician suggested for an EEG (Electro-encephalo-graphy) and a CT Scan... Though EEG was normal, the CT Scan showed a Malformation in his brain... 'Vascular Malformation'...
After seeing all the reports, doctor suggested for a 4 Vessel DSA... (Digital Subtraction Angiography), to visualise the arterial and venous supply to the brain...
After he was back in station, we got the DSA done... it was an hour procedure, though we had to hospitalise him for 24 hrs... The DSA test confirmed the vascular malformation was an AVM (Arterio Venous Malformation), an abnormal connection of the veins and arteries in the brain... AVM is also known as BOMB... which can explode any time resulting in Brain Hemorrhage or Paralysis.... It could be a reason for the seizures he had or in other words, seizures could be one of the symptoms of AVM...
These AVMs can be either operated; ie, open skull surgery by a Neuro Surgeon, Gamma Knife; ie, laser treatment by a Neuro Surgeon or by Embolization; ie, gluing technique by Interventional Neuro Radiologist...
In my husband's case, doctor suggested the third option, Embolization... The purpose of embolization is to prevent blood flow to an area of the body, which effectively can shrink a tumour or block an aneurysm.
Since doctor have told us about this, it is very difficult for us to concentrate on our normal activities... Though it is curable but its related to brain, hence bothering us more... Doctor has suggested Embolization procedure to be conducted sooner And with his profession, the mental stress is very high than physical stress...
Currently, we are searching for the bestest doctor available in town so as to consult him regarding this Bomb... in short... we are after a Bomb Squad...
Please wish me luck... and pray for my hubby's successful recovery from this unheard malformation.....Will keep you all updated...
C u Soon...
Till then take good care of urself
