Blood Clot Brain Surgery

Blood Clot in Brain – Surgical Treatment

What is a Blood Clot in the Brain?

A brain bleed or skull bleed is another name for a blood clot in the brain. It happens when blood builds up within or close to the brain because of an injury, stroke or blood vessel burst. If you don't treat it right away, it could become life-threatening because it puts dangerous pressure on brain cells.

In the worst cases, the person needs emergency brain surgery to remove the clot, ease pressure and keep the brain from being permanently damaged.

Causes of Brain Blood Clots

• Traumatic brain injury (road accidents, falls)
• High blood pressure
• Ruptured aneurysm
• Bleeding disorders
• Stroke
• Brain tumors
• Use of blood thinners

Symptoms of a Brain Blood Clot

A clot in the brain can develop suddenly and may cause:

• Severe headache
• Vomiting or nausea
• Loss of consciousness
• Seizures
• Weakness or numbness in the limbs
• Slurred speech or confusion
• Vision problems

Immediate medical attention is critical. Delayed treatment can lead to brain damage, coma or death.

Surgical Treatment for Brain Blood Clot

When a brain clot is big or puts pressure on the brain surgery is needed. Some common surgery options are:

1. Craniotomy
   • A part of the skull is temporarily removed to access and remove the blood clot.
   • Helps relieve pressure and repair damaged vessels.
2. Minimally Invasive Drainage
   • In selected cases a small tube is inserted through a small hole to drain the clot.
3. Endoscopic Surgery
   • Uses a camera-guided instrument for precise clot removal with minimal brain tissue damage.

Recovery After Surgery

• How well the patient gets better relies on where the clot is, how big it is and their overall health.
• ICU monitoring is usually required immediately after surgery.
• Some types of rehabilitation are physical therapy, speech therapy and neurorehabilitation.
• Regular follow-up imaging is necessary to ensure no re-bleeding or complications.
