Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

Last year, I underwent an aneurysm clipping procedure in the M1M2 region, and although the temple remains swollen, an ultrasound scan indicates the presence of minor gliosis in the frontal lobes. Despite ongoing concerns about seroma in the temple, an ultrasound scan has not been conducted. I am currently experiencing angle closure, and an operation is pending. Additionally, I have been experiencing persistent pain in the jugular vein and legs for several weeks. This discomfort is a new development for me, distinct from my previous 16 gynecological operations for VIN 111.

Hi,

I am glad you chose icliniq for your medical-related queries.

I understand your concern and will try to help you with it.

Regarding the aneurysm clipping, it is normal for the area around the clipping site to stay swollen for a few months post-procedure. This swelling is part of the healing process and should gradually improve. If you still have significant swelling or experience symptoms like headaches or neurological changes, it is important to follow up with your neurosurgeon to ensure proper healing. The diagnosis of seroma in the temple is based on a physical examination and usually does not require additional testing, such as an ultrasound scan. However, if you have persistent swelling or discomfort, your healthcare provider may recommend further testing to rule out other underlying conditions. The diagnosis of minor gliosis in the frontal lobes is also based on a physical examination and typically does not require further testing or treatment. Gliosis is a common and generally benign finding in brain imaging. Nevertheless, it is important to follow up with your healthcare provider to ensure that other neurological symptoms you are experiencing are not related to this condition. Angle closure is a potentially serious condition that requires prompt medical attention. If you have been diagnosed with angle closure, it is crucial to follow up with your healthcare provider to ensure proper management and receive appropriate treatment. The pain in the jugular vein and legs are important symptoms that should be discussed with your healthcare provider. These symptoms could be related to various underlying conditions such as blood clots, nerve compression, or other medical issues. Lastly, addressing mental health concerns such as clinical depression, anxiety, and agoraphobia is important. These conditions can significantly impact your overall health and well-being. It's important to work with a mental health professional to develop a treatment plan tailored to your specific needs. In summary, it's crucial to address each symptom individually and work with your doctor to develop a comprehensive treatment plan for each condition. This may involve various healthcare providers, such as a neurosurgeon, ophthalmologist, mental health professional, and other specialists, depending on the nature of your symptoms. By collaborating with a team of healthcare providers, you can ensure that you receive the best possible care for all your health concerns.
