First of its kind post Covid ‘Brain Haemorrhage’ treated by Doctors at SLG Hospitals Life threatening neurological complication in a 48 yr old lady treated efficiently after she was air-lifted and admitted to the hospital

Hyderabad, July 5th, 2021:

Doctors at SLG Hospitals, one of the leading healthcare facilities in the city, saved life of a lady who suffered life-threatening ‘brain haemorrhage’ as a post-Covid complication. Though doctors have noticed neurological complications among those who contract Covid-19 virus, not many instances have been reported around the world for brain haemorrhage.

Ms. Indrani M, a 48-year-old resident of Belgaum town in Karnataka suffered a paralytic attack on the left side of her body; and was air-lifted from her hometown and brought to SLG Hospitals on June 11th. The victim was earlier treated for mild Covid-19 pneumonia symptoms at Belgaum; and this neurological complication was possibly due to the after-effects of coronavirus infection.

Commenting on the complication, Dr. Abhinay Huchche, Consultant Neurologist, SLG Hospitals, who treated the patient said, “A 3x4 cm size clot was noticed in the right brain of the patient, who reported severe headache and immobility in the left-side of her body. Blood thinners were administered on the patient during Covid-19 treatment, and high blood pressure are probable reasons for her brain haemorrhage. At SLG Hospitals, we immediately treated the victim for swelling in the brain and brought her high blood pressure under control. Subsequently, the patient was kept under observation and treated gradually.”

“Many young and middle-aged patients are developing diabetes and hypertension post Covid-19 recovery. These complications could have adverse impact on individuals overall health. It is important people watch their vitals like diabetes and blood pressure levels, and ensure proper care is taken to avoid serious complications,” added Dr. Abhinay Huchche.

Ms. Indrani was kept under constant expert observation for seven days and was discharged on June 18th after she was considered fit to return to her regular routine. Neurological stress is an associated problem in these times of a global pandemic; hence it is important people maintain their health, watch their diet, lead a happy & healthy lifestyle to avoid health impediments.
