Heard about Stroke? Did you know there's a method to prevent stroke?

Carotid artery blockage is one of the most common causes of stroke, and I cannot stress enough the urgency for immediate attention to this silent threat.

A blockage in the carotid arteries can sneak up on you, becoming a notorious precursor to potentially devastating issues like strokes. Knowing the signs can be lifesaving! Do you experience dizziness, blurred vision, trouble speaking, or sudden limb weakness? It’s time to get checked. The easiest way to detect a stroke is by prompt identification by this acronym BEFAST B stands for balance E is for eyes F means face A identifies arm S stands for speech and T means time is of the esse

Carotid endarterectomy and angioplasty are recommended if the blockage is > 70 % ( where the stroke rates of disease can be much more than that of surgery)

Massive Neurofibroma Debulking Surgery with Control of Bleeding (External Carotid Artery) This young man was diagnosed with neurofibroma very early in life. Neurofibroma is a benign tumor of the nerve sheath that is an inherited condition. It always results in disfigurement and asymmetry of the affected region. There was profusion of fibrous tissue in the form of skin flaps on the right side of his face that resulted in gross facial disfiguration. He had undergone multiple surgeries since childhood, but with recurrence every time. He presented to our hospital for removal of excess tissue as our hospital is a specialty center for facial reconstructive surgery in India. There was also a cataract of the right eye. The external carotid artery was first ligated before the surgery to control bleeding. Excess fibrous tissue was excised taking care to ensure that there was no damage to any vital structures. Proliferation of tissue in the right ear lobe was also trimmed. He was very happy with the results of the surgery. 📞 Phone: +91 44 4294 7222 📬 Email: smbalaji@gmail.com 🌍 Website: www.smbalaji.com 📍 Location: Chennai, India #drsmbalaji #smbalaji #balajidental #maxillofacialsurgeon #maxillofacialsurgery #india #chennai #tamilnadu #Neurofibroma #CarotidArtery (at Balaji Dental and Craniofacial Hospital) https://www.instagram.com/p/CFEz3TcgMzV/?igshid=1qd35zj4r35vz
