Repeated head impacts, whether from car accidents, falls, collisions with hard objects, or sports-related injuries, can lead to severe brain injuries. This is especially concerning for older adults, as head injuries can more easily result in intracerebral hemorrhage. As older people age, their blood vessels become fragile, making them more susceptible to bleeding compared to younger people.
In the initial stage, some patients with intracerebral hemorrhage may show no symptoms. However, as time passes, the bleeding may increase and accumulate, resulting in a chronic hematoma that compresses brain tissue. Symptoms, such as headaches and weakness, usually appear after about a month.
Intracerebral hemorrhage is treated through catheter insertion and Endovascular Embolization, which is a non-surgical method to stop brain bleeding. This procedure not only prevents the need for surgery but also eliminates the requirement for general anesthesia, reducing the risk of complications and infection. Moreover, recovery time is shorter, requiring only one-night of hospital stay.
