blood clot
A 2-year old boy was recently in an accident in which a jeep went over his right side. He was diagnosed as having a blood clot in his right shoulder after that. But only 3 days after his accident he started doing his normal routine chores,as there was no serious external injury.However,later it was found that the clot had moved to his brain. Now his right side is paralysed.There is one more problem, he has had all tests possible and no blood vessal injury has been indicated,so the doctors are baffled as to where the blood came from.Can anyone suggest any possible solution for this boy's problem?
Hi,
Irrespective of where the clot came from the first line of treatment should be clot-busting therapy.
The accident could just be a co-incidence, so some underlying cause could also be the culprit.
A stroke victim needs medical attention right away. Clot-busting drugs can prevent brain damage in many cases, but only if they're given within three hours of the attack. Doctors can also help prevent strokes by prescribing drugs that prevent new clots from forming.
When blood vessels burst or clots clog an artery, the brain cells that control the functions of speech, movement, or memory may die. The specific abilities that may be lost or affected depend on where in the brain the stroke occurs and on the size of the stroke -- that is, how many brain cells were damaged. According to the National Stroke Association, someone who has a small stroke may experience effects such as weakness of a limb or difficulty walking. A person who has a bigger stroke may be paralyzed on one side or lose the ability to talk. Some people die from very severe strokes, while those who suffer milder strokes may recover fully.
