Here, the patient underwent a CT scan of the brain and was found to have a cerebral hemorrhage . Despite treatment, the patient's condition did not improve but instead became increasingly tired, lethargic and showed signs of decreased consciousness. Worried that the condition would worsen, the family decided to transfer the patient to Hung Vuong General Hospital.

On the way to the hospital, the patient was intubated and ventilated with a bag to maintain respiration. Upon arrival at Hung Vuong General Hospital, the patient continued to be sedated and ventilated with a bag. CT scan results showed bleeding in the cerebellar parenchyma, causing ventricular dilation.

After consultation, the doctors agreed on a ventricular drainage surgery plan to resolve the condition of ventricular dilatation due to cerebellar hemorrhage.

The external ventricular drainage surgery was performed successfully, helping to reduce pressure on the brain and improve the patient's condition. The ventricular drainage was removed after 2 weeks. Currently, the patient is fully conscious, has had his tracheostomy removed, and can communicate and perform basic personal activities. The patient was discharged from the hospital and continued to be monitored at home.

Through the above case, people need to be more aware of the importance of detecting and treating early signs of stroke and cerebral hemorrhage. If you see a relative with symptoms such as severe headache, nausea and vomiting, you need to take the patient to a medical facility for timely examination and treatment.
