Hemorrhage!!!
Brain Hemorrhage
(dURING eXAMINATIONS)
(eXCLUSIVE FOR sTUDENTS like me....) Duh!!!!
A brain hemorrhage is a type of stroke that cause you to copy and cheat sometimes.
It occurs when "bleeding" (TAKE NOTE : nO bLOOd pls...) occurs into the brain skills and knowledge----
It can occur
Inside the brain means you cannot answer anymore and your brain is drained;
Between the brain and the membranes that cover it your only choice is to copy and ask the answer to your seatmate or friends near you
Between the layers of the brain's covering It also happens when you don't review and focus much of the subject
Between the skull and the covering of the brain When you are so excited thinking of party after the exams and not focusing
Your brain cells doesent function that much .....
Symptoms
Signs of bleeding inside the skull tend to come on rapidly and include:
- A sudden headache---(you can no longer remember what you have just read! Anu kasi yun???
- Steadily increasing neurologic losses such as weakness, inability to move, numbness, loss of speech or vision and confusion (Shocks...di ko alam to di ko kasi binasa tong part na ito!!!)
- Nausea and vomiting of questions to your seatmates and friends near you!!! (Number 1 Part II!!! pls..)))
- Seizures ( kakalabitin or sisipain yung upuan ng ka-kopyahan sa harap mo! number 4 sa Identification)))
- Loss of consciousness (tatayming ka pag di nakharap yung Proctor!!!!)
Causes and Risk Factors
These include:
- Head injuries. For people under the age of 50, this is the most common cause of bleeding inside the skull.
- Abnormalities in blood vessels in and around the brain. These may be present from birth. They are only found if symptoms develop.
- Aneurysm. This is a weakening in a blood vessel wall that swells. It can burst and bleed into the brain leading to a stroke.
- High blood pressure. High blood pressure over a long time can weaken blood vessel walls.
- Amyloid angiopathy: This is an abnormality in the blood vessel walls. It occurs more often as we age. It may cause many small, unnoticed bleeds before causing a large one.
Diagnosis
Doctors hearing the symptoms a patient has may strongly suspect bleeding inside the skull.
This may be confirmed using a computed tomography (CT) scan of the brain. If not, a spinal tap can be used to confirm or rule out subarachnoid hemorrhage (bleeding between the layers of the covering of the brain). A spinal tap may also be needed if infection is suspected. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), CT angiogram and/or contrast angiography may be needed to complete the diagnosis and help doctors to decide on the proper treatment.
Treatment
Treatment for bleeding inside the skull varies, depending on what caused it, where it is and how large it is.
Treatment may include:
- Diagnostic radiology (Review and read ahead before taking the exams...)
- Interventional radiology (of course Divine Intervention....)
- Microsurgical techniques can be used to treat abnormal or leaky vessels (If you don't know the answer leave it blank and when you got a chance to ask your seatmate ask it as soon as possible!!!!)
