HiMy father lives in India and he met with an accident in 1997 and had a clot in brain, doctors in India have operated him and then after coma and long time he slowly recovered but now also he doesnt think like normal adult and sometimes behave kiddish and he has to take medicines daily that is Tegretal 200, Eption etc. otherwise he gets fits, So I wanna ask here in UK Is there any sugery with lower risk to operate him and remove his clot so that he can be a normal and independent person??
Hi, Thank you for posting your query. The abnormal behavior in your father is related to old head injury and blood clot in brain. These lead to permanent damage in different parts of brain, leading to different symptoms. If you can send a copy of recent MRI brain report, I would be able to tell the different problems that he may face. The current medications such as digital (carbamazepine) and option (phenytoin) are given to prevent seizures (fits), which can occur in a person with severe brain injury in the past (post-traumatic epilepsy). I hope it helps. Please get back if you require any further information. Best wishes, Chat Doctor. Ly/
