Am I at risk with increased carotid ultrasound levels?

How accurate is carotid ultrasound? Says: moderate to severe increase at the level of the Bilateral CCA and ECA and the level of ICA artery. What does this mean? Dr said to do MRA to confirm

Answered on 24th May '24

If in a carotid ultrasound, there is a significant increase in certain arteries, it could mean a blockage and crippling at that location. These blockages have consequences, including slow blood flow to the brain and, as a result, dizziness, fainting, or even stroke. The patient is to undergo an MRI and more precise information about the diseases will be obtained by this technology. Through MRA, the doctor can determine what to do next and suggest medications, lifestyle modifications, or surgery to loosen the veins and make them as healthy as possible. It's important not to do anything reckless but to listen to every word of advice that your cardiologist gives you and follow it to the letter so that you don't have compromised health matters.

Questions & Answers on "Neurosurgery Treatment" (45)

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?

I am a 46yr old female, experienced hoarseness for more than a year after covid, I did a ct scan which reveals Avidly enhancing extra axial mass just posterior to the pineal gland. Pineal region meningioma vrs pineocytoma.

Female | 46

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.

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.

My name is shameer .I have surgery L1 burst .and loss control on bladder and bowel .11 months completed .how gain Bladder regaining power

Male | 23

It is tough to cope with the loss of control over the bladder and bowel. These problems may occur after L1 burst surgery due to injury to the nerves. Symptoms of this include not feeling the need to pee or poop or leaking. The positive news is that you can regain bladder control with pelvic floor exercises and bladder training. Request your doctor or physiotherapist to devise a plan for strengthening those muscles.

Hello, This is Edu, I am 30 years. I injured my head even my face has seams like fat. When it started with my head my hair roots were very injured now continuing to half part of my face.

Female | 30

The fat-like stitches you are telling me about could be swollen tissue from the injury. The head injury side effects like irritated hair roots and swelling are the symptoms that would show up after a head injury. At the point of not seeking help for yourself, you put yourself at a higher risk. A doctor can diagnose the problem and pick the best remediation method for you which can be medication, wound care, or surgery.
