Case Sharing<\/h4>\n

42-year-old Ms. Li, a housewife, suddenly felt numbness in her right hand and foot in March, as well as headache and physical weakness. After a detailed examination and cervical MRI, she was initially diagnosed as the fifth and sixth cervical disc herniation and started Cox\u00ae decompression manipulation. <\/p>\n

At follow-up consultation two days later, the patient felt that not only did the hand numbness not decrease, but also numbness in the upper body, left hand, and corner of the mouth. She also had headaches, dizziness, weak hands and feet, and weakened eyesight and she also felt very tired. This symptom does not seem to be just a cervical disc problem, and the patient has been consulted with a doctor which prescribed her anti-motion sickness, sedatives, and some vitamin pills, but it was not very helpful to her condition.<\/p>\n

After discussing with the patient, she was referred to neurosurgeron for further brain examination and stroke assessment. The results of the examination showed that the patient suffered from Bleeding Brainstem Cavernoma. The patient’s symptoms have been greatly improved after taking the medicine, but whether or not to undergo surgery to remove the hemangioma still depends on the development of the disease.<\/p>\n
