A sudden onset of neurological incidence might indicate a neurological emergency. Therefore we strongly recommend visiting the emergency room of the nearest hospital.
Phone number: 144
Only in a hospital the neccessary diagnostics – especially concerning imaging – are available.
Do not lose time, because: „Time is brain!“
Another recommendation: Always take a list with yourself with essential medical information:
– Previous diseases
– Medication
– Allergies
It helps saving time!
The article deals with the EMERGENCY “thunderclap headache”, which must be considered as an indication of a specific cerebral hemorrhage, a so-called “subarachnoid hemorrhage” (SAB), until proven otherwise. The spectrum of complaints can be very different: from “only” severe headache to coma!!! Therefore, the rapid contact to an emergency department is necessary, where the appropriate diagnostics by means of head imaging, nerve water sampling and, if necessary, angiography will take place. The cause is often a vessel weak point, a so-called “aneurysm”, which should be treated accordingly in the course. The video also briefly outlines various types of aneurysms and their treatment options (clipping, coiling, stenting).
