Has anyone ever heard of someone waking up after major bypass surgery completley blind? This happened to my father 12 days ago and he still cant see anything. The doctors here are stumped and the only thing they can come up with is he has ishmethic optic neaurpothy. Just wondering if anyone has had or heard of this happening and if there is anything we can do.
There are many factors in determining the recovery of a stroke patient after a surgery. This includes the type of stroke, severity of symptoms, how much the body is involved, medical condition of the patient ( presence of diabetes, hypertension, heart conditions), age, over-all health and even the type of surgery done. It is best that you discuss this with his attending physicians for proper evaluation and to clear any worries. Take care and do keep us posted.
We brought her home with the advice to continue to monitor her for signs of further incidents. She was absolutely fine throughout the rest of the day. By Friday morning however, she was unable to stand, her legs were weak and we noticed rapid eye movements. We returned the vet and were told that she had had a "brain aneurysm" , and was suffering from a bleed somewhere in her brain.
00 PM and it came back clear. Hestarted feeling better until 9:00 PM when his right arm started going numb and the tingling in his right foot came back and his speach became slurred. The ER continued to watch him and and at 5:00 AM the next morning decided to transfer him to a large hospital in Kansas City. The medical team in KC ran tests and scheduled an MRI. At 6:30 PM they cnducted the MRI.
No he did not have a stroke. We are well aware of those signs, and he does not exhibit any of the classic signs. The right pupil reacts to light and works like it is supposed to. the left one is open and does not react to the light. He said his vision was blurry straight down the left side. Either way he is going to the doctors as soon as they open in the morning. And yes my choice was for him to go to the ER this afternoon when he told me about it.
it could be possible that you are having symptoms of a stroke the loss of sensation whether it be in your leg hand or face are some of the warning signs, i strongly suggest that you see a neurologist, as i can tell you a stroke is not a fun thing after having one myself because of ignoring the warning signs and ended up losing the ability and use of my hand.
The CAT Scans do not show any trace of a stroke and the EKG do not show signs of a heart attack. the doctors tell us that there is damage to the brain, but they won't know the extent until my father regains consciousness. He is non responsive to voices and the little movements that he makes that doctors tell us that those are just reflex actions. What can we expect from all this? should we get a second opinion?
Next, the surgeon peels out the plaque deposit by removing the inner lining of the diseased section of the artery containing the plaque. After removing the plaque, your surgeon stitches your artery, removes the clamps or the bypass, and stops any bleeding. He or she then closes the neck incision and the procedure is complete. The procedure takes about 2 hours to perform but may seem slightly longer depending upon the anesthetic and preparation time.
I was given explicit instructions to observe this area for tenderness, swelling, abnormal pain, warmth in the area of the puncture site, as well as coldness and tingling in the leg. These can be signs of infection and or clotting. I don't want to alarm you, but this is something you don't want to mess around with. Please call you doctor immediately for instruction on what you should do!

I have not told my surgeons yet because this started after I saw both of them for the last time before I go into the hospital. My primary dr. said he thought it was definitely caused by the 2 strokes that occurred after the surgery to remove the aneurysm. Can these tests be done in the hospital or are they strickly out patient tests? I am going to do neuro rehab this time in hospital after surgery since I did not get to do that last time.
