[My brain, eaten by worms? 】

The white-faced girl typed a line on her mobile phone with a trembling hand in horror.

Affected by the parasites in the brain, the girl's thinking is not very clear at this moment.

"Let's get a cyst antibody test first."

Zhao Sheng said to the old couple.

"Okay, okay."

The old couple nodded.

Next, Zhao Sheng opened an inspection for the old couple, and the girl went to do the test.

Half an hour later.

Still outside the MRI examination room, Zhao Sheng held an urgent cyst antibody test positive result in his hand.

"It can be determined that it is pork tapeworm infection, and now use some drugs to inhibit the response of the worm body in the brain, and then do the examination."

Zhao Sheng said to the old couple, and the girl, although she is still conscious at the moment, has actually had problems with her cognitive function, this is because the language and cognitive function areas are adjacent to each other in the brain division, and if there is a problem in one area, then the other area will also have a certain impact.

"Doctor, after this diagnosis, do you want to have surgery?"

The old man asked worriedly.

This bug grows in the brain, and it's not a good thing to think about, and it sounds too scary.

"This has to wait for the results of the MRI examination, if the lesion is relatively large, then the effect of ordinary drug treatment is not good, and it must be treated by surgery."

Zhao Sheng explained.

"Doctor, if you really need surgery, will this surgery affect your brain in the future?"

The old man asked again.

My daughter is a kindergarten teacher, as a kindergarten teacher, being able to sing and dance, and being able to speak is a basic skill, if you have surgery and your brain is not good, then this job will not be done.

"Brain surgery is risky, but in general, surgery for neurocysticercosis and postoperative recovery are better. The patient now has headaches and aphasia, which are caused by the compression of the brain tissue by the brain cyst group, and the effect on the brain will disappear after surgical removal. ”

Song Sixian said very professionally, as a neurosurgeon, he has also done a lot of surgery for neurocysticercosis, and it is in such a young girl that neurocysticercosis occurs, which is really very rare.

"Thank you, doctor, thank you."

When the old man heard Song Sixian's professional explanation, his nervous mood was a little better, but he still felt that his daughter was too offended.

His daughter likes to travel and try new things, which is normal in his opinion, and young people like this.

However, just because the tour ate something unclean, it was necessary to have a craniotomy, and in this regard, the price paid was a bit too great.

An hour later.

The girl, who had taken the suppressant medication, lay down in the MRI examination cabin again.

Zhao Sheng and Song Sixian were both standing in the operation room, ready to inspect the results of the inspection in real time.

"Dr. Guo, it's time to start the examination."

Zhao Sheng said to Guo Yan, an MRI doctor.

"You won't be in a coma again this time, will you?"

Hearing Zhao Sheng's words, Guo Yan said with some uncertainty.

"No, after the medication, the larvae in the patient's brain have been suppressed, and this reaction to the strong magnetic field will only appear in the larvae of the parasite."

Zhao Sheng said with certainty.

"I think it's a very interesting subject, about the response of parasite larvae to strong magnetic fields, maybe we can use the reaction of strong magnetic fields to larvae, and we can study something."

Song Sixian said with interest.

"If you say this, it is not as small as a parasite, some scientists have done experiments, put the frog in a strong magnetic field of 30T, the frog will have a weak anti-gravity phenomenon, the strong magnetic field has a very far-reaching impact on the tiny structure and liquid matrix in the living body."

Hearing Song Sixian's words, Zhao Sheng's thinking was a little divergent and said.

"The anti-gravity force is probably due to the strong magnetic field that adjusts the molecules in the liquid matrix inside the organism, creating a reverse force."

Guo Yan continued while operating the machine on the console.

He was originally a professional in nuclear magnetic resonance, and he studied biomagnetic fields more deeply than pure doctors like Zhao Sheng and Song Sixian.

The working principle of nuclear magnetic resonance is actually to produce a nuclear spin through the hydrogen nucleus in the water molecule or fat molecule, resulting in the appearance of magnetic moment, and the nuclear magnetic moment can cause a moving nucleus in the stationary external magnetic field, thereby causing energy level splitting, coupled with the effect of alternating magnetic field, the spin nucleus absorbs electromagnetic waves of a specific frequency, and the low energy level can jump to a high energy level to produce a signal.

Soon, real-time brain images of the MRI appeared on the display.

Guo Yan was also reading the film very carefully, and after a while, he pointed to a place on the display screen and said to Zhao Sheng and Song Sixian: "This is it!" The temporal region is scattered with small circular cystic lesions, about 5-10 mm in diameter, and punctate scolices can be seen in the sac, and there is no obvious edema around the sac. ”

"It's true that there are multiple small cysts in the active period, and from the results of MRI, although cysticerci are in the active stage, they are still relatively limited. But that's too much, and surgery is necessary. ”

Seeing the MRI images, Song Sixian quickly made a very professional judgment.

As long as the cysticerci are removed by craniotomy and the brain compressed by cysticerci will restore its function, and the probability of postoperative sequelae will be greatly reduced.

If cysticerci grow into adults and invade the brain tissue, even if the removal surgery is done, it will cause irreversible damage to the brain tissue.

Patients will experience sequelae such as long-term headache, dizziness, and varying degrees of speech dysfunction after surgery.

For a kindergarten teacher, even a slight speech impairment means that her career has ended early.

The results of the examination have been clear, the cyst antibody test is positive, and the MRI examination has also found the lesion, and the next step is to arrange elective surgery.

Out of the examination room, Song Sixian and Zhao Sheng together briefly explained the condition to the old couple and the girl.

[Doctor, do I have to shave my head during surgery?] 】

After listening to the condition, as soon as she heard that she needed a craniotomy, the girl typed a line of words with her mobile phone, and her face was full of nervousness.

"If you have a craniotomy, you have to shave your head."

Song Sixian nodded and said.

Craniotomy, of course, has to shave the head, but as for the sake of beauty in the future, only shaving part of it and keeping part of the hair is a joke.

Whoever wants to do this, it must be a Mongolian doctor and a grass man's life.

"Shanshan, don't be afraid, your hair can still grow, don't be afraid."

The old lady hurriedly comforted her daughter and said.

The girl's expression was gloomy, her long hair had been raised since junior high school, not only for beauty, but also for the memory of youth.
