Frequently Asked Questions

Recognizing the acronym BE FAST aids in promptly identifying signs of a Stroke: Balance: Unexpected loss of balance or coordination. Eyes: Sudden difficulty seeing in one or both eyes. Face drooping: Either side of the face droops or feels numb. Arm weakness: Weakness or numbness in one arm. Speech difficulty: Slurred speech or trouble understanding speech. Time to call for medical help: It's the moment to seek medical assistance if an individual displays any of these signs.
The duration of surgery varies depending on the type of procedure. While some surgeries are relatively short, lasting only a few hours, the most intricate ones can extend to 15 hours or beyond. If there's a need for a blood transfusion or if the surgeon has to adjust the approach during the procedure, it might add some extra time to the surgery.
Not always. Your referring doctor likely thinks you have a condition that could benefit from evaluation, testing, and treatment by a neurosurgeon. The determination of whether surgery is necessary is a complicated matter, and it's best addressed by your neurosurgeon and their team.
Elevated or poorly managed blood pressure may result in the rupture, leakage, or narrowing of blood vessels. It can also contribute to the development of blood clots in the brain, impeding blood flow and causing a stroke. Occasionally, individuals may experience a mini-stroke (Transient Ischemic Attack - TIA) which temporarily reduces blood supply to the brain. This attack typically serves as an early warning sign of an increased risk of a more severe stroke.
Yes, indeed. Several neurological disorders may initially exhibit psychological symptoms such as altered behavior or symptoms resembling depression. It's often later, when additional symptoms like weakness or headaches emerge, that a neurological condition such as a stroke or brain tumor is recognized.
Detecting stroke symptoms promptly and swiftly transporting the patient to a hospital equipped with a neurologist and thrombolysis capabilities is crucial. This urgency is due to the fact that thrombolysis can only be administered within the initial 4.5 hours after the onset of stroke symptoms.
