Könnte eine hepatische Enzephalopathie nach der Genesung zu dauerhaften Persönlichkeitsveränderungen führen?
Meine Großmutter fiel aufgrund einer hepatischen Enzephalopathie ins Koma. Ihr ging es völlig gut, bis ihre Hände anfingen zu zittern und sie eines Morgens anfing, sich zu übergeben. Davor gab es keine Symptome. Sie hat Leberzirrhose. Ungefähr 12 Stunden nach diesem Vorfall wurde sie in ein Krankenhaus gebracht und mit einem Beatmungsgerät auf eine Intensivstation gebracht. Sie erlangte nach etwa 24 Stunden das Bewusstsein wieder, nachdem das Ammoniak aus dem Gehirn und der Brust ausgespült worden war. Sie befand sich in einem kritischen Zustand, hat sich aber gut erholt. Jetzt ohne Beatmung hat sie deutliche Persönlichkeitsveränderungen und dennoch ein gutes Gedächtnis. Das ist für mich äußerst beängstigend. Außerdem scheint sie sich der Umgebung weniger bewusst zu sein und braucht länger, um zu antworten. Könnten diese Auswirkungen vorübergehend oder dauerhaft sein?

Die hepatische Enzephalopathie, die ihr Koma verursacht, kann zu vorübergehenden Persönlichkeitsveränderungen und langsamem Denken führen. Dies liegt daran, dass die Leber nicht richtig funktioniert und sich die Giftstoffe im Gehirn ansammeln. Diese Auswirkungen können jedoch mit der Behandlung und der Zeit nachlassen.

Questions & Answers on "Neurosurgery Treatment" (43)
Hi, my mother was operated with the diagnosis of brain tumor about 15 years ago, she was very good at first, she did not lose any speech and movement ability, but now, unfortunately, she cannot speak fully and her movement ability has dropped very much. We have taken her to many doctors in Turkey and every doctor says that these are normal because her age is advanced and that it is normal and that it will get worse and worse and that she will lose her ability to move and speak (her age is 59), sometimes she has seizures. What can we do about this, what can we do to have a better standard of living? What kind of treatment method do you apply and how much is your fee respects!!!
Female | 59
Your mom might face long-term effects from her brain tumor surgery, including declines in speech and movement as the tumor affects different brain areas. These issues may worsen with age, and seizures are also common. To improve her quality of life, consult a neurologist or brain tumor specialist. They can recommend treatments like seizure medications, physical therapy, and speech therapy. Regular check-ups will help monitor progress and adjust her treatment plan as needed.

Your seizures are related to past brain surgery. It's good that you're taking medication regularly to manage them. However, it's important to visit a neurologist for regular check-ups. They can review your treatment and ensure that you're on the right medication.

Hi . We have a 19 year old girl diagnosed with Nf1 and retroperitoneal huge mass Do you have any cures for this Is there any way to get well completely if not please give us any suggestions to live longer or stop the spread Can we do radiotherapy or chemotherapy or surgery to get out some parts or is there any effective drug ?
Female | 19
NF1 may bring about tumor formation in one's body, just like the one that grew in the abdomen. Regrettably, there is no cure for NF1 at the moment. Treatment options may include the surgery of the mass, chemotherapy, or other medication to relieve symptoms and slow down the formation of the tumor. It is necessary to consult with an oncologist regarding all the alternatives to find the most suitable option for the patient.

Grade 4 astrocytomas are aggressive brain cancers. Prognosis varies but typically includes surgery, radiation therapy (RT), and chemotherapy (CT). She should see her team regularly along with other experts if they feel it necessary. New symptoms such as fever, seizures increased headaches or behavioral changes mean that we need an immediate discussion so we may start correctly with the treatment regime too isolated be too.

Sir, our patient was told by the Drs on the eve of the feast. He suffered a cerebral hemorrhage due to sudden high blood pressure. He was operated on and a drain was inserted. He was intubated for the first 3 days, and reintubated 4 days later. It was informed that our patient reacted to pain but could not wake up because he was unconscious. We watched him react to some reactions, but his doctors say that these reactions are meaningless, for example, when I tickled the bottom of our patient's right foot, I saw that his right toes made small movements and I saw him open his eyes. and I looked from left to right with eye movements and I saw tears flowing from my left eye, I couldn't see this feeling in the left foot. When we wet it with cotton, I saw mouth and lip movements move, I saw movements that were disturbed by thirst, but there was no speech, but the first 10 legs of his body were very swollen and cold. In the last week, keep the body on fire, from the feet to the head, the body temperature is very high. Our patient was operated on the 14th day. Drainage has changed Dear teacher, we need you about the general condition of our patient, can you get back to us, can we share our patient's information?
Erkek | 75
I would suggest to consult with the patient's doctors and nurses directly involved in their care for accurate information and updates regarding their condition and share your concerns directly with them.

Kya brain tb ka operation karna jaruri hai
Male | 12
SurGERY is not always neceSSARY for BRAIN TB treatMENT.. It depends on the severity, location, and response to medication.. DOCTORS may recommend surGERY to drain fluid buildup, remove a damaged portion, or relieve pressure.. However, medication is the first line of defense and often effective.. SURGERY carries risks and should be done only when required.. Always follow the doctor's adVICE and take medication as preSCRIBED..

my grandmother went into a coma caused by hepatic encephalopathy. she was completely fine until her hands started trembling and she started vomiting one morning. there were no symptoms before that. she does have liver cirrhosis. she was taken to a hospital approximately 12 hours after this happened and placed into an ICU with a ventilator. she regained consciousness in about 24 hours, after the ammonia had been flushed out from the brain and the chest. she was in critical condition, but has been recovering well. now off the ventilator she does have noticeable personality changes yet good memory. this to me is extremely scary. she also seems less aware of the environment and takes longer to answer. could these affects be temporary or permanent?
Female | 70
Hepatic encephalopathy, which is the cause of her coma, can result in some temporary changes in personality and slow thinking. This is because the liver is not functioning properly and the toxins are building up in the brain. However, these effects might be lessened with treatment and time.

Male | 65
Forgetfulness is one of the symptoms of a severe health problem. The MRI revealed a tumor on the brain in this case. Brain tumor warning signs may include memory difficulties, headaches, and vision changes. A positive result is possible through surgery to remove the tumor and thereby eliminate the symptoms. Consult a neurologist about the risks and benefits of making the right decision for your father's health.

The CT scan showing a mass near your pineal gland could be a meningioma or a pineocytoma, two tumors that can have similar effects. Both of them may result in headaches and vision problems. A neurosurgeon can help run through the methods, and the main treatment can consist of surgery or other alternatives, as the specific type of tumor requires.
