“Silently Accumulating in the Brain for Months, a Chronic Brain Hematoma Nearly Cost a 76-Year-Old Man His Life"

Becoming a mother for the first time is an exciting journey, but it also comes with many questions. What should you do if your baby chokes while feeding? How do you bathe your newborn properly? How can you take care of yourself after childbirth to recover faster?

Two months ago, Mr. C (59 years old) suffered a head injury due to a household accident. In the following weeks, he occasionally experienced mild dizziness, but since the symptoms were brief and not severe, he assumed there was nothing serious and did not seek medical attention.

Recently, Tam Tri Nha Trang General Hospital successfully treated a 66-year-old foreign patient with a common bile duct (CBD) stone using Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). The patient was admitted with abdominal pain, nausea, jaundice, and scleral icterus.

Admitted to the hospital in the middle of the night at 34 weeks and 1 day of pregnancy, a mother carrying twins faced a critical obstetric emergency. Her membranes had completely ruptured, with one baby in a breech position and the other lying transverse. Even more urgently, one baby's lower limb had prolapsed into the birth canal. Recognizing the serious risks to both the mother and her babies, the medical team at Tam Tri Nha Trang General Hospital immediately performed an emergency cesarean section.
