Venous angioma of the brain - vessels, which, expanding, merged into a small glomerulus. This is a serious enough disease, which can present a real danger to health. And the earlier it is diagnosed, the less harm the affliction will cause the body.
Symptoms of venous angioma of the brain
The main problem of the disease is that it can for a long time not manifest itself in any way. More precisely, the main symptoms of it are easily confused with ordinary fatigue or overexertion.
The first signs of venous angiomy appear once after the vessels are combined. The formed ball presses on the cerebral cortex, which leads to:
- headaches ;
- bouts of nausea;
- vomiting;
- convulsions;
- paralysis;
- reduction of mental activity;
- attacks of aggression;
- speech impairment;
- loss of self-control;
- loss of skin sensitivity;
- impossibility to concentrate attention.
The cause of venous angioma of the brain is difficult to name. It can be both hereditary predisposition, and trauma, congenital pathology or infectious diseases.
Treatment of venous angioma of the brain
The most effective method of determining the disease is angiography . The examination will allow to study the sizes of a tumor and to determine how intensively it develops.
To get rid of a venous angioma of a brain once and for all it is possible by means of operation. But to do it is allowed only at a late stage, and in the event that the tumor is superficially located. If you hurry, there may be a complication in the form of rupture of blood vessels and hemorrhage.
An alternative method of treatment is sclerotherapy. It consists in the "decontamination" of the affected vessels with the help of a special substance. Sclerotherapy is performed only for patients with small angiomas.
