He puʻupuʻu i loko o kou poʻo? Mai hopohopo! E aʻo kākou e pili ana i ka meningioma.

Ke loaʻa iā ʻoe kahi ʻeha poʻo, e makaʻu iki paha ʻoe a hopohopo, "Auē, he puʻupuʻu lolo koʻu?" ʻAʻole anei he mea maʻamau kēlā? Akā ʻo ka mea nui e pono ai mākou e ʻike, ʻaʻole nā ​​​​​​ʻeha poʻo a me nā puʻupuʻu he mau maʻi kanesa weliweli. I kēia lā e kamaʻilio mākou e pili ana i kahi ʻano puʻupuʻu maʻamau e ulu ana i loko o ka lolo, akā ʻaʻole ia he mea weliweli. Kāhea mākou i kēia he meningioma.

I ka ʻōlelo maʻalahi, he aha ka meningioma?

E noʻonoʻo i ko kākou lolo a me ke kaula iwi kuamoʻo e pale ʻia e kahi uhi lahilahi i hana ʻia me ʻekolu mau membrane. Ua like ia me kahi uhi puke. ʻO kēia uhi ka mea a mākou e kapa nei ma ke ʻano lapaʻau ʻo 'meninges'. ʻO ka meningioma kahi puʻupuʻu e ulu ana ma luna o kēlā mau uhi.

ʻO ka mea nui, ʻaʻole kēia he puʻupuʻu e ulu ana i loko o ka lolo , akā he puʻupuʻu e ulu ana i loko o ka uhi e hoʻopuni ana i ka lolo. No laila, ma kahi o 80% o kēia mau puʻupuʻu ʻaʻole weliweli , ʻo ia hoʻi, ʻaʻole lākou he ʻino. Ulu mālie lākou. I kekahi manawa hiki iā lākou ke noho no nā makahiki me ka ʻole o nā hōʻailona. Akā i kekahi manawa, ʻoiai inā ʻaʻole lākou he mea weliweli, i ka wā e ulu ai kēia puʻupuʻu, hiki iā ia ke hana i kekahi mau pilikia no ka mea e kaomi ana ia i nā ʻāpana o ka lolo.

Pehea ʻoe e hoʻokaʻawale ai i kēia mau nati?

Ua māhele nui ʻia nā meningioma i ʻekolu mau papa e pili ana i ko lākou ʻano. ʻO ka hoʻomaopopo ʻana i kēia e hoʻomālamalama iki ai iā ʻoe.

ʻO wai ka mea i pilikia nui i ka loaʻa ʻana o kēia maʻi?

ʻOiai ʻaʻole i loaʻa ke kumu kikoʻī, ua ʻike ʻia e ka noiʻi e hiki i kekahi mau mea ke hoʻonui i ka pilikia o ke kanaka i ka loaʻa ʻana o ka meningioma.

• Kāne: ʻO ka mea kupanaha, ʻoi aku ka maʻamau o kēia ʻano puʻupuʻu i nā wahine ma mua o nā kāne. ʻOi aku ka pālua o ka loaʻa ʻana o nā wahine waena o ka makahiki ma mua o nā kāne.
• Nā Hormone: Ua manaʻo ʻia ʻo nā hormones wahine ʻo estrogen a me progesterone e hoʻohuli i ka ulu ʻana o kēia mau puʻupuʻu. Hiki i kēia mau puʻupuʻu ke ulu koke i ka wā hāpai a i ka wā e lawe ai i ka lāʻau lapaʻau pani hormone.
• ʻIke ʻia i ka radiation: ʻO ka nui o ka radiation i ke poʻo a me ka ʻāʻī, ʻoiai i ka wā kamaliʻi, hoʻonui i ka pilikia.
• Makahiki: ʻOi aku ka maʻamau o kēia ʻano ma waena o ka poʻe ma luna o 65 mau makahiki.
• Nā kūlana hoʻoilina: ʻO ka poʻe me ka maʻi hoʻoilina Neurofibromatosis type 2 (NF2) he 50% ka manawa e loaʻa ai ka meningioma.
• Momona: ʻOiai ʻaʻole maopopo ka pilina pololei ma waena o ka momona a me ka meningioma, ua hōʻike kekahi mau noiʻi he ʻoi aku ka maʻamau o kēia mau ʻōpū i waena o ka poʻe momona.

He aha nā hōʻailona o kēia?

No ka mea, lohi loa ka ulu ʻana o ka hapa nui o nā meningioma, ʻaʻohe hōʻailona i nā pae mua. Inā loaʻa nā hōʻailona, ​​pili lākou i kahi o ka puʻupuʻu i loko o ka lolo a me kona nui. ʻO nā hōʻailona maʻamau:

• ʻO ke poʻo ʻeha i loaʻa no ka manawa lōʻihi a ke piʻi mālie nei.
• Nā hopu koke.
• ʻIke pōwehiwehi , ʻike pālua, a i ʻole ka ʻike emi ʻana.
• Manaʻo o ka mae a nāwaliwali paha ma nā lima a i ʻole nā ​​wāwae.
• Ke ʻano ʻūlū ma kekahi mau wahi o ke kino.
• Paʻakikī i ka ʻōlelo ʻana .
• Ke kani ʻana o nā pepeiao a i ʻole ka nalowale o ka lohe .
• Nā pilikia hoʻomanaʻo .

Inā loaʻa iā ʻoe kekahi a ʻoi aku paha o kēia mau hōʻailona, ​​ʻo ka mea maikaʻi loa e hana ai, ʻaʻole e hopohopo a e ʻike koke i ke kauka no ka ʻōlelo aʻo.

Pehea e ʻike ai ke kauka i kēia?

Ma hope o ka hoʻolohe ʻana i kāu mau hōʻailona, ​​​​e nānā kāu kauka iā ʻoe a, inā kānalua ʻia he meningioma, e kauoha aku i kahi scan lolo.

1. MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) Scan: ʻO kēia ke ala maikaʻi loa e ʻike ai i ka meningioma. Hiki iā ia ke hōʻike maopopo i kahi, ka nui, a me ka laulā o ka puʻupuʻu a me kona hopena i nā ʻiʻo a puni.

2. CT (Computed Tomography) Scan: I kekahi mau hihia, hoʻohana ʻia kahi CT scan ma waho aʻe o kahi MRI.

3. Biopsy: I kekahi manawa, wehe ʻia kahi ʻāpana liʻiliʻi o ka puʻupuʻu i ka wā o ke ʻoki ʻana a hoʻouna ʻia i kahi keʻena hoʻokolohua e hōʻoia inā he maʻi kanesa (Papa 3) a ʻaʻole paha.

Pehea e mālama ʻia ai?

Hoʻoholo ʻia ka lāʻau lapaʻau e kekahi mau kumu, me ka nui o ka puʻupuʻu, pehea ka wikiwiki o kona ulu ʻana, kou mau makahiki, a me kou olakino holoʻokoʻa.

1. E kali a nānā

Inā liʻiliʻi loa ka puʻupuʻu, ʻaʻohe ona hōʻailona, ​​a ʻaʻole ia he mea weliweli (Papa 1), e haʻi aku kāu kauka iā ʻoe e kali no kekahi manawa me ka ʻole o ka lāʻau lapaʻau. I loko o kēia manawa, e hana ʻia nā scan MRI i nā manawa maʻamau e nānā inā e ulu ana ka puʻupuʻu.

2. Wehe ʻoki kino (ʻoki kino)

Inā loaʻa iā ʻoe nā hōʻailona, ​​inā e ulu wikiwiki ana ka puʻupuʻu, a inā paha e kaomi ana i kahi ʻāpana koʻikoʻi o kou lolo, e hoʻoholo paha kāu kauka e hana i ke ʻoki kino e wehe iā ia. Ua kapa ʻia ke ʻoki kino he craniotomy . Pili kēia i ka wehe ʻana i kahi ʻāpana iwi liʻiliʻi mai kou iwi poʻo, e wehe ana i ka nui a i ʻole ka liʻiliʻi o ka puʻupuʻu e like me ka hiki, a laila e hoʻopili hou i ka iwi. E like me nā ʻoki kino āpau, aia nā pilikia, no laila he mea nui e kūkākūkā i kēia me kāu kauka ma mua o ka hoʻoholo ʻana.

3. Hoʻōla Lapaʻau

Hoʻohana ʻia ka radiation therapy inā aia ka puʻupuʻu ma kahi i hiki ʻole ke wehe loa ʻia e ke ʻoki ʻana, a i ʻole e luku i nā ʻāpana liʻiliʻi i koe ma hope o ke ʻoki ʻana. Hiki i kēia ke hoʻēmi i ka puʻupuʻu a hoʻōki paha i kona ulu ʻana. Hoʻohana ʻia kēia lāʻau lapaʻau no nā puʻupuʻu kanesa (Papa 3).

4. Kemoterapi

ʻAʻole hoʻohana pinepine ʻia ka chemotherapy no ka meningioma, a noʻonoʻo wale ʻia ke ʻole i holomua ke ʻoki ʻana a me ka radiation therapy.
