Thankfully the Interventional Radiology and Cerebral Catheterization team, in cooperation with the Neurosurgery team at Al-Mouwasat Hospital in Dammam, succeeded to save the life of a young man in his late twenties who was suffering from severe bleeding in the brain due to the bursting of an arteriovenous link of the third degree in the posterior cerebral artery.

A patient in his late twenties arrived at the emergency room at Al-Mouwasat Hospital in Dammam, and he suffered from severe headache and a deterioration in the degree of consciousness, where the medical team examined the young man immediately after receiving the case and carried out the necessary medical examinations, as the CT scan showed the presence of severe bleeding in the brain under the arachnoid mater and intracerebral ventricles.

 The neurosurgery team, the interventional radiology team, the brain catheterization and the anesthesia team were immediately called while the patient was prepared were Dr. Sherif Al-Mekkawi, a consultant neurosurgeon, installed a tube to drain the bleeding from within the ventricles of the brain surgically, then the patient was transferred to the catheterization room. The room is equipped with the latest global technologies, to make an exploratory diagnostic catheter on the arteries of the brain to find out the cause of bleeding to save the life of the patient. For this aim Dr.Ahmed Al-Taher, a consultant of interventional radiology and brain catheterization, made an arterial imaging that showed that the cause of the bleeding is the presence of an arterial and venous link between the arteries and veins of the posterior cerebrum of the third degree, and finally the bleeding joint was completely closed by means of ultrafine catheters and coagulants under general anesthesia, without any complications.

Thankfully the patient recovered, under the care of the intensive care unit team. He was fully recovered and left the hospital after a few days, fully conscious and returned back to his normal life.

The case is an abnormal connection between the arteries and veins of the brain, which leads to high blood pressure inside the veins which causes them to burst, which leads to the occurrence of brain hemorrhage. The arteriovenous connections in the brain are considered one of the rare pathological cases, as they affect one to two persons for every half a million people, and they also require high efficiency and great experience to accurately diagnose and treat them in the most appropriate way for each patient, and this is what Mouwasat seeks to achieve by bringing in the latest global technologies related to this field.
