The doctors at MediCover Hospital, Visakhapatnam, used a new and safer method of brain treatment to treat a 50-year-old woman who had a brain aneurysm.

A brain aneurysm is a bulge or ballooning in a blood vessel in the brain. A brain aneurysm can leak or rupture, causing bleeding into the brain (hemorrhagic stroke).

The intrasaccular flow diversion offers higher visibility and better placement enabling doctors to divert the blood flow away from the aneurysm. This technique has been used in Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, and Odisha.

Explaining about the case, senior consultant, neurovascular intervention, Dr. Siba Shankar Dalai, said the patient reported severe headache continuing till neck along with visual disturbances and the reports of MRI scan showed rupture of the aneurysm.

The entire procedure of flow diversion was done after evaluating the condition of the patient.

Dr. Dalai said that the condition of the patient has slowly improved in the last three to four days. The patient will be discharged on September 2, 2021.
