After his second operation on 05/12 Jason underwent an Emergency Surgery (likely a craniomoty or removal of part of the skull to drain the accumulating blood) due to a Subdural Hematoma which is a potentially fatal Surgical Emergency where blood pools on the brain [see image below].
Complications of a Subdural Hematoma can be as follow (from the National Institutes of Health):
- Brain
herniation (pressure on the brain severe enough to cause coma and
death)
- Persistent symptoms such as memory loss, dizziness,
headache,
anxiety,
and difficulty concentrating
- Seizures
- Temporary or
permanent weakness, numbness, difficulty speaking
This is definitely a
DIRE situation for Jason.
Information about Subdural Hematomas can be found at the
National Institutes of Health Website.
