  1. Brain Clot Removal Surgery drhimanshugupta.com/brain/brain-clot-removal-surgery Clotting of the blood is a natural process by which the body prevents blood loss through cuts and wounds. Platelets and fibrin, two of blood's components, are responsible for clotting. However, sometimes there might be solid gel-like clots in the blood apart from where it should be. Blood clots can be static or even move around the body through arteries and veins. A fixed blood clot is referred to as a thrombosis, while a moving clot is commonly termed an embolism. The clots can be a threat to life, depending on where they are situated and how severe they are. Clots that occur in the brain's venous sinuses are called Cerebral Venous Sinus Thrombosis of CSVT. Many certified professionals perform brain clot removal surgery in Jaipur. It requires experience and precision to remove the solid mass of blood cells carefully. Therefore, only trained experts like Dr. Himanshu Gupta should perform such surgeries to eliminate the risks associated. What are the Causes of Brain Clot? Brain clots can develop with and without external impact on the head. Some of the most common causes of brain clots are: Trauma to the head or neck can result in the formation of blood clots in the brain. When bleeding occurs between the skull and the brain, blood clots form in the brain. To halt the bleeding, the body produces a clot, putting pressure on the surrounding brain tissue. Thus, blood clots outside can break away and become trapped in the brain after a head injury, resulting in an ischemic stroke. 1/3

  2. Traveling blood clots from other parts of the body can block a blood vessel. The moving clot directs the brain to an embolic stroke or cerebral embolism. Before reaching the brain, these traveling clots are more likely to cause damage to other regions of the body. Atherosclerosis or narrowing of the arteries can raise a person's risk of having a clot in the brain. As blood is pumped through hardened arteries, they are in danger of ripping. That can result in a clot forming in the injured area. Inflammation of a vein increases the risk of clots. Caused by a bacterial infection in the vein, the blood flow is reduced to the surrounding area. Thus, these injured areas are more likely to leak, which could result in a clot. Oral contraceptives can also induce brain clots. Women who have a history of blood clots and smoke while using contraceptives are exceptionally high at risk of having blood clots. What are the Symptoms? When blood clots form in the brain, several symptoms can occur, ranging from headaches to difficulties speaking, depression, and an Ischaemic Attack. Headaches Headaches caused by a blood clot are usually located on one side of the head. Coughing or sneezing can aggravate them, and they can limit head movement and physical activity over time. Problems in communication Slurry words and trouble speaking are two other symptoms. That is more noticeable if the clot is on the left side. Coordination problems Transferring objects from one hand to the other may be particularly hampered due to the lack of coordination. Seizures A blood clot can produce seizures that last up to two minutes. Those that last longer could indicate a more significant problem. Diagnosis of Brain Clot Depending on the location and type of clot, the condition will be assessed differently. Specialists like Dr. Himanshu Gupta start by going through the medical history. Several tests can be done in order to know the location and the seriousness. A physical examination. Your doctor will do a variety of tests that you're already familiar with, such as listening to your heart and taking your blood pressure. A neurological exam will also be performed to see how a probable stroke is impacting your nervous system. 2/3

CT scan It is a computerized tomography that creates a detailed image of the brain by using a sequence of X-rays. A CT scan can reveal brain bleeding, an ischemic stroke, a tumor, or other issues.
