Cerebral Hemorrhage

#cerebral hemorrhage, #stroke, #cerebral infarction, #intracranial pressure, #blood pressure management, #emergency surgery, #headache, #splitting headache, #migraine, #pain at the back of the head, #body swelling, #facial swelling, #leg swelling, #swollen hands and feet, #weakness in the arms or legs, #difficulty moving one side of the body

Cerebral hemorrhage is a medical emergency in which a blood vessel in the brain ruptures and bleeding occurs. Blood pressure management is the most important way to prevent it, and if symptoms occur, you should go to the emergency room immediately.

Cerebrovascular Disease (Stroke)

#stroke, #cerebral infarction, #cerebral hemorrhage, #thrombolysis, #thrombectomy, #cerebrovascular disease, #winter stroke, #first aid, #post-stroke sequelae, #multidisciplinary care, #headache, #splitting headache, #migraine, #pain at the back of the head, #lightheadedness, #spinning sensation, #unsteadiness, #vision going dark, #weakness in the arms or legs, #difficulty moving one side of the body

Cerebrovascular disease (stroke) is a condition in which a blood vessel in the brain becomes blocked or ruptures, causing brain damage. To minimize aftereffects, prompt emergency response is most important, under the principle that 'time is brain.' The risk of stroke is especially high in winter and during seasonal changes, so please follow the prevention guidelines carefully.

Dizziness

#dizziness, #vertigo, #balance disorder, #cerebral infarction, #orthostatic hypotension, #headache, #splitting headache, #migraine, #pain at the back of the head, #lightheadedness, #spinning sensation, #unsteadiness, #vision going dark, #collapse, #loss of consciousness, #fainting, #weakness in the arms or legs, #difficulty moving one side of the body, #anxious feeling, #nervousness, #worrying for no reason

Dizziness is a general term for a feeling that the surroundings are spinning or that it is hard to keep your balance. It may be caused by something simple, such as anemia or an ear problem, but it can also be a sign of a dangerous brain condition. Because the exact cause must be found and treated, please be sure to consult a medical specialist for an examination.

Herniated Cervical Disc (Cervical Disc Herniation)

#herniated cervical disc, #cervical disc herniation, #arm numbness, #neck pain, #forward head posture, #straight neck, #cervical spine, #sore neck, #pain in the back of the neck, #stiff neck, #numbness in hands and feet, #tingling arm, #tingling leg, #weakness in the arms or legs, #difficulty moving one side of the body

A herniated cervical disc (cervical disc herniation) is a condition in which a disc between the vertebrae of the neck presses on a nerve. The main symptoms are arm numbness or arm weakness. Most cases can be treated without surgery, but if there is paralysis or loss of bladder or bowel control, please consult a medical specialist immediately.

Herniated Lumbar Disc (Lumbar Disc Herniation)

#herniated lumbar disc, #disc herniation, #intervertebral disc, #radiating leg pain, #sciatica, #low back pain, #spine, #low back ache, #back pain, #lower back strain, #numbness in hands and feet, #arm numbness, #tingling leg, #weakness in the arms or legs, #difficulty moving one side of the body

A herniated lumbar disc (lumbar disc herniation) occurs when a disc between the vertebrae of the spine moves out of its normal position and presses on a nerve. It is characterized by low back pain along with numbness or pain radiating down the leg. With timely treatment, most cases may improve without surgery.

Lung Cancer

#lung cancer, #non-small cell lung cancer, #small cell lung cancer, #lung cancer screening, #low-dose CT, #targeted therapy, #immunotherapy, #bronchoscopy, #low energy, #lethargy, #persistent tiredness, #breath holding, #difficulty breathing, #shortness of breath, #choking sensation, #dry cough, #persistent cough, #cough that won't stop, #nausea, #feeling like vomiting, #vomiting, #weakness in the arms or legs, #one-sided weakness

Lung cancer is a malignant tumor that develops in the bronchi or lungs and is the leading cause of cancer death in Korea. It often causes no symptoms in its early stages, so regular screening is important for high-risk groups. Smoking is the leading cause, and quitting smoking is the most effective way to help prevent it.

Meningioma

#meningioma, #brain tumor, #benign tumor, #Gamma Knife, #neurosurgery, #weakness in the arms or legs, #difficulty moving one side of the body

Meningioma is, in most cases, a slow-growing benign tumor. The timing and method of treatment that suit you should be decided carefully in consultation with a neurosurgery specialist.

Moyamoya Disease

#Moyamoya disease, #cerebrovascular, #cerebral infarction, #cerebral hemorrhage, #transient ischemic attack, #revascularization surgery, #pediatric stroke, #headache, #splitting headache, #migraine, #pain at the back of the head, #weakness in the arms or legs, #difficulty moving one side of the body

Moyamoya disease is a rare cerebrovascular disease in which the major blood vessels leading to the brain gradually become blocked and abnormal blood vessels form. It often presents as cerebral infarction in children and as cerebral hemorrhage in adults. Whether symptoms are present or the condition is found incidentally, please consult a neurosurgery specialist.

Rheumatoid Cervical Spine Disease

#rheumatoid, #cervical spine, #myelopathy, #cervical instability, #upper cervical spine, #cervical myelopathy, #weakness in the arms or legs, #difficulty moving one side of the body, #anxious feeling, #nervousness, #worrying for no reason

Rheumatoid cervical spine disease is a condition of the neck (cervical spine) that can occur in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. Unlike common neck conditions, its main feature is instability of the first and second cervical vertebrae, the uppermost bones of the neck. If symptoms worsen, the spinal cord can be compressed and may lead to paralysis, so please consult a medical specialist.

Spine Surgery

#spine surgery, #disc, #spinal stenosis, #disc herniation, #scoliosis, #spondylolisthesis, #spinal rehabilitation, #osteoporosis, #lumbar spine, #cervical spine, #body swelling, #facial swelling, #leg swelling, #swollen hands and feet, #numbness in hands and feet, #arm numbness, #tingling leg, #weakness in the arms or legs, #difficulty moving one side of the body

Spinal conditions cause a variety of symptoms, including neck and back pain, numbness in the arms and legs, and gait disturbance. Typical conditions include herniated disc (disc herniation), spinal stenosis, and spondylolisthesis. Most spinal conditions are not life-threatening, so the principle is to start with conservative treatment such as drug therapy and physical therapy, and whether and when surgery is needed depends on each patient's condition. Please consult a medical specialist for an accurate diagnosis and direction of treatment.

Stroke

#stroke, #dementia, #vascular dementia, #high blood pressure, #snoring, #weakness in the arms or legs, #difficulty moving one side of the body

Stroke is a medical emergency that occurs when a blood vessel in the brain becomes blocked or ruptures. A blocked blood vessel is called a cerebral infarction, and a ruptured one is called a cerebral hemorrhage. If symptoms appear, going to the emergency room immediately is the most important way to reduce aftereffects. Stroke is also closely related to dementia. The main symptom of stroke is the loss of a specific bodily function, such as paralysis of the arms or legs. The most important factor in treatment is the golden time (the critical time window for treatment), so please be sure to consult a medical specialist for an accurate diagnosis. If abnormal symptoms appear, call 119 (Korea's emergency number) or go to the emergency room immediately.

Surfer's Myelopathy

#surfer's myelopathy, #surfing, #spinal cord, #paralysis, #hyperextension, #low back pain, #urinary dysfunction, #back pain, #lower back pain, #back strain, #numbness in the hands and feet, #arm numbness, #tingling in the legs, #weakness in the arms or legs, #one-sided weakness

Surfer's myelopathy is a rare condition in which reduced blood flow to the spinal cord during activities that involve excessive backward bending of the spine — such as surfing, yoga, or Pilates — leads to neurological symptoms. If leg paralysis or loss of bladder or bowel control develops after low back pain, go to the emergency room immediately.

Uveitis is inflammation of the uvea — the iris, ciliary body, and choroid — inside the eye. It can cause redness, pain, and reduced vision, and in severe cases can lead to blindness. If symptoms occur, please consult an ophthalmology specialist without delay.
