10 year old child has ruptured cerebral blood vessel, parents need to know clearly about this dangerous disease

After surgery, the child suffered from left hemiplegia, right side weakness, and could not walk on his own. Therefore, understanding this disease is extremely important.
The cause of cerebral vascular malformations is unknown.
Cerebral vascular malformations cause many problems affecting human health, the most common is rupture of blood vessels leading to stroke due to cerebral hemorrhage.

or cause pressure on the brain leading to seizures. The cause of cerebral vascular malformations is unclear. Most patients are born with them, but sometimes they can develop later in life. Scientists have not yet found the main cause of cerebral vascular malformations. Many studies have also shown that the rate of Vietnamese people with congenital cerebral vascular malformations is very high, up to 5% - 10% of the population. However, the rate of people with congenital cerebral vascular malformations that cause complications to human health is quite low, only about 0.25%.

The rate of Vietnamese population with congenital cerebrovascular malformations is very high, possibly up to 5% - 10% of the population.

Dangerous diseases are often overlooked

Cerebral arteriovenous malformation is a disorder of the blood vessels connecting the arteries and veins of the brain. Because there are no symptoms or signs, the disease is often not detected early. However, this is considered the most dangerous congenital vascular malformation because it can cause many serious complications, the most common being a ruptured vessel leading to a stroke due to cerebral hemorrhage or causing pressure on the brain leading to epilepsy. If cerebral hemorrhage is not intervened promptly, there is a high risk of death or the patient will have to suffer severe sequelae for life. In fact, many healthy people suddenly have headaches.

intense but subjective makes treatment late.

Headaches in young people can be a warning sign of a brain vascular malformation. Therefore, if a headache appears, even if it is only fleeting, the patient should not ignore it.

The question is, who is susceptible to cerebral vascular malformations? In fact, vascular malformations can appear in people of all races and genders at almost equal rates. Vascular malformations develop over time, exist asymptomatically for many years and are mainly detected in people aged 45 and under in the following situations: - Cerebral hemorrhage (50-60%) - Headache, epilepsy (40-45%) - Accidental (5-10%). - Some patients are diagnosed quite late (60-70 years old). Therefore, when there is a headache, especially in people with a family member with cerebral vascular malformations, they should proactively go for examination and screening to detect the disease promptly.
Because untreated cerebral arteriovenous malformations can increase in size and rupture at any time, causing cerebral hemorrhage, leading to permanent brain damage, which is life-threatening.

Can cerebral vascular malformations be treated?Cerebral vascular malformations can be treated with the goal of removing the malformation from the cerebral circulation. When treating cerebral vascular malformations, there are 3 treatment methods, and most of them are often used in combination, not treated separately: gamma knife, DSA and surgery.
In which, the least minimal intervention, the least invasive is gamma knife radiosurgery. Gamma knife is a method that uses radiation to sclerose the malformation, but if it fails, it must be combined with the DSA method. When the malformation hemorrhages to form a cyst, surgical intervention is required. In some cases, DSA intervention is contraindicated, for example, performing this method requires the patient to inject a certain amount of contrast agent, so it should not be performed on patients with severe renal failure. Treatment is only truly effective and leaves few sequelae when the malformation has not ruptured, so early detection and screening of vascular malformations is a top priority.

In short:Cerebral vascular malformations are congenital diseases of unknown cause and cannot be prevented. However, we can proactively intervene and prevent complications of the disease to have a healthy life through screening and early detection of cerebral vascular malformations.
