Blood Clot Brain Surgery in India

Overview

Blood clot brain surgery is a treatment used to remove a blood clot that has formed near the brain and is obstructing blood flow to the brain. There are different ways to perform blood clot brain surgery. The former surgery involves the doctor drilling one or two holes in the skull, followed by an incision in the dura, one of the connective tissue layers, to drain the blood clot. A craniotomy is the temporary removal of a bone flap in order to provide access to the brain

Procedure Details

Blood clots are gel-like blood collections that form in your veins or arteries as blood changes from liquid to partially solid. Clotting is natural, but when it does not dissolve on its own, it can be harmful. Medication and surgery are both options for treatment. A blood clot in the brain is usually the result of trauma, which might be a single major event or a series of minor injuries. The risk of a blood clot in the brain increases with age. This is due to the fact that the brain shrinks over time while the skull retains the same size. It has the potential to be quite harmful. Blood clots are categorized into two types: A thrombus is formed when a blood clot forms in an area where it should not have developed. The clot may remain in one location (called thrombosis) or migrate throughout the body (called embolism or thromboembolism). Moving clots are especially dangerous. Blood clots can occur in arteries (arterial clots) or veins (venous clots)
