The happiest thing during the Spring Festival is to sleep until you wake up naturally, eat and drink without going to work, brush video, watch live streaming, play games, basically can not leave the phone

But the body often inadvertently give you a heavy blow

This is not, Hangzhou 26-year-old young guy Yong (a pseudonym) because of staying up late to “cultivate immortality “too obsessed, but small brain infarction! He was rushed to the First Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine Zhijiang Hospital, neurology experts especially reminded: young is never “stroke The neurologist specially reminded: young is never the exemption area of “stroke”! Unhealthy lifestyle can greatly increase the probability of stroke

Game fierce battle to the early morning, the next day the road is unstable

Late night “repair immortality “, do you know this terrain?

It is due to the busy daytime, so stay up late at night to watch live, brush the circle of friends, catch up on drama, play games …… do not know how many partners addicted to it can not be extricated, but the mentality is surprisingly consistent –

“As long as they have not slept, the Spring Festival is not yet gone, the later you sleep the longer the Spring Festival holiday. “

Born in 1994 in Fuyang, Hangzhou, Yong is a senior “immortal party “, it is easy to wait until the Spring Festival period, usually busy with work, he visited friends and relatives during the day, the night crazy “open black ” – “Jedi survival” “League of Legends” two cell phones at the same Time, it seems “Only late at night really belong to themselves. “

At noon on February 9, the previous night until 3:00 a.m., only to wake up Yong just sat down at the table and felt wrong – eating lunch hand shivering and unstable chopsticks, headache, see things also spinning, he was weak, nausea and vomiting, needing the support of Family members to barely walk a few steps.

Thinking that he had not rested well, Yong, who is usually strong and has no underlying diseases, went back to bed, but the situation did not improve. A day later, Yong was about to start his battery car when he went out and again experienced severe dizziness, nausea, sweating, etc. To make matters worse, his body was as disoriented as he was drunk, and he kept walking crookedly to the right.

The family rushed him to the local hospital in Fuyang for medical attention, and the local hospital recommended that he be referred to the Zhijiang Campus of Zhejiang University.

“Doctor, I played a few games the other day ‘chicken’ game, when the eyes and neck soreness and dizziness struck, immediately went to sleep, who thought that from then on, even the road can not walk steadily. “In the clinic of chief neurologist Dr. Ke Qing, Yong recounted the before and after of his discomfort. “How long did you play the game? In what position did you play with the phone? With Dr. Ke Qing’s detailed examination, Yong stammered and replied “From about 7:00 pm after dinner until 3:00 am, with his head leaning on the sofa. After a cranial CT and MRI examination, Yong’s right cerebellar acute infarction was detected and he was admitted to the hospital urgently.

After detailed examination after admission, the vascular high-resolution MRI showed that Yong had a right vertebral artery entrapment, and it turned out that the hematoma caused by the entrapment had blocked his vertebral artery, thus causing infarction of the right cerebellar hemisphere.

cerebral infarction is only one head bow away from young people

The vertebral artery is shuttled in the transverse foramen of the cervical vertebrae, which is vulnerable to abnormal head and neck compression or external forces resulting in injury, manifested as intimal tearing, peeling, intervascular wall hematoma, thus blocking the lumen or even thrombus dislodgement And lead to cerebral infarction, light dizziness, affecting the ability to move and speak, or fall into a coma. “Dr. Ke Qing, chief physician, explained that Yong kept the same posture of leaning on the sofa and playing with the phone with his head down for a long time, which made the vertebral artery in the entry section of the skull suffer from abnormal compression for a long time and poor blood circulation. Eventually a vertebral artery entrapment and hematoma occurred, triggering an ischemic stroke in the cerebellum.

After a week of treatment with dual antiplatelet therapy, lipid lowering and stabilization, improvement of collateral circulation and nutrition of brain cells, Yong turned to safety and his body signs gradually returned to normal. Experts say that it will take at least three months to six months before most of the blood vessels are repaired, and some patients with more serious conditions will be left with various sequelae such as swallowing difficulties, unstable walking and speech impairment.

According to data, the incidence of cerebral infarction due to vertebral artery entrapment is 1.87 per 100,000 patients.

In the past, cerebral infarction was common in the elderly, but in recent years, with the change of living environment, the proportion of young people suffering from Atherosclerosis, hypertension, diabetes and heart disease has increased greatly, and in addition, smoking, alcohol, obesity and reduced activity have made more and more young patients.

“Young people’s brain infarction seriously affects the quality of Life and work of patients, and brings heavy economic burden to society and families, which is distressing. “Dr. Ke Qing, chief physician, said that in recent years, the department has seen nearly 100 consecutive cases of vascular entrapment induced by improper neck activities, in addition to prolonged head-down playing with cell phones, improper pushing, neck massage, or engaging in certain In addition to prolonged head-down playing with mobile phones, improper massage, neck massage, or engaging in certain sports activities such as weight lifting, playing badminton, golf, tennis and yoga, vigorous head shaking during square dancing, and inertial forward head tilting during emergency braking, etc., all may lead to arterial entrapment, which further induces cerebral infarction.

Experts emphasize: “Brain infarction has a trend of younger onset, young people must pay attention to change the bad habits of life. When playing cell phones to maintain the correct posture, try not to lower the head for a long time, so that the neck is compressed, and the same posture should not be maintained for too long, to rest properly. In case of discomfort, it is recommended to go to the hospital for emergency treatment as soon as possible! “
