Ngaba uziva ngathi kukho umthambo obetha ecaleni kwentloko yakho? Masithethe nge-Superficial Temporal Artery!

Ngaba wakha wema phambi kwesibuko waze wacinga ngeentshukumo ezincinci onokuziva ngeminwe yakho xa ubeka isandla sakho ecaleni lentloko yakho, ngaphezu kwendlebe yakho? Kufana nokuba ungaziva isigqi sentliziyo yakho sibetha apho. Abanye abantu bayibiza ngokuba "yi-temporal artery." Ngokwenene ngumthambo wegazi obaluleke kakhulu, kwaye wenza umsebenzi omangalisayo emzimbeni wethu. Namhlanje siza kuthetha ngalo mthambo mncinci kodwa unamandla otyisa ubuso bethu kunye nentloko yethu, i-Superficial Temporal Artery (STA) .

Ngamafutshane, yintoni i-Superficial Temporal Artery (STA)?

Eli gama lisenokuvakala ngathi liyinzululwazi, kodwa masilihlalutye size siliqonde ngokulula.

• Okungaphezulu kuthetha "phezu komhlaba." Oku kuthetha ukuba lo mthambo ukufutshane kakhulu nolusu lwethu, phezu komhlaba. Yiyo loo nto sinokuziva ukubetha kwawo ezandleni zethu.
• Igama elithi temporal libhekisa kwicala lentloko yethu . Ngokukodwa, inxalenye engasentla naphambi kweendlebe.
• Umthambo yimithambo yegazi ethwala igazi elicocekileyo nelicebileyo ngeoksijini ukusuka entliziyweni ukuya emzimbeni wonke.

Ngoko ke, ngokufutshane nje, i-Superficial Temporal Artery yi-artery ekwicala lentloko yethu, ngaphantsi nje kolusu. Uyazi ukuba ivela phi? Iqala kwi -External Carotid Artery, eyi-artery enkulu kumacala omabini entamo yethu. Ifana nomjelo omncinci oqala kumlambo omkhulu. Njengokuba sinale artery inkulu kumacala asekunene nangasekhohlo entamo yethu, sikwanazo ne-Superficial Temporal Artery ezimbini kumacala omabini asekunene nangasekhohlo entloko yethu.

Yeyiphi inkonzo enkulu eyenziwa yile mithambo incinci?

Umsebenzi oyintloko nolula wale mithambo kukubonelela ngegazi kwiindawo ezithile zobuso bethu kunye nolusu lwethu . Oko kukuthi, ulusu kunye nemisipha kwezo ndawo zifumana ioksijini kunye nesondlo esifunekayo ngale mithambo.

Kodwa kukho into ebaluleke nangakumbi. Oogqirha, ingakumbi oogqirha bemithambo-luvo, basebenzisa le mithambo-luvo kwiindlela ezibalulekileyo zotyando. Khawuthelekelele ukuba umthambo omkhulu wegazi ohambisa igazi engqondweni uvalekile. Emva koko oogqirha basebenzisa le mithambo-luvo ye-Superficial Temporal, njengaxa indlela ivalekile, benza indlela entsha (i-bypass) yokuthumela igazi engqondweni. Olu lutyando olusindisa ubomi.

Kukho iimeko ezininzi apho olu hlobo lotyando luyimfuneko:

• Ii-Aneurysms (ukudumba okanye ukudumba kwemithambo yegazi engqondweni)
• Ukuncipha kokuhamba kwegazi ukuya kwimithambo ephambili yobuchopho (Umthambo wobuchopho ophakathi okanye ukungakwazi ukusebenza kakuhle kwemithambo ye-carotid yangaphakathi)
• Isifo sikaMoyamoya - Esi sisifo apho imithambo yegazi ebuchotsheni incipha kancinci kancinci ize ivaleke.
• Istroke

Ukongeza, le mithambo ikwasetyenziswa njengomjelo wovavanyo oluthile lokuxilonga, umzekelo, i- angiogram , okanye unyango oluthile lwe-endovascular .

Iphi kanye kanye le nto emzimbeni wethu?

Lo mthambo uqala ngaphakathi kwi-Parotid gland , i-salivary gland esezantsi naphambi kweendlebe zethu. Ukusuka apho, ihamba phakathi kwamathambo esihlathi neendlebe zethu. Ungaziva nangoku ngokubeka iminwe emibini phambi kwendlebe yakho, ngaphezulu kwamathambo esihlathi sakho, uze uyive kancinci kancinci. Uza kuyiva loo pulse.

Ngawaphi amasebe aphuma kulo mthambo?

Kanye njengokuba umlambo omkhulu ukhula ube ngamasebe amancinci, i-Superficial Temporal Artery ikhula ibe ngamasebe amancinci, ngalinye linika igazi kwiindawo ezahlukeneyo zentloko nobuso.

Ingaba le mithambo yegazi iyafana nakubo bonke abantu?

Hayi. Le yenye yezona zinto zimangalisayo ngemizimba yethu. Njengeminwe yethu, indawo ekuyo le mithambo kunye nendlela emasebe ayo anokwahluka ngayo kumntu nomntu . Abanye abantu banezitishi ezimbini eziphambili, okanye maxa wambi zibe ntathu. Kwaye indawo apho le mithambo ihlukana khona ibe zimbini inokuba ngaphezulu nje kwethambo lesidlele kwabanye abantu, ngelixa kwabanye inokuba ngaphantsi kwayo. Okumangalisa nangakumbi kukuba imithambo ekwicala lasekhohlo lentloko yakho isenokuba yahlukile kwimithambo esekunene.

Ziziphi izifo neengxaki ezichaphazela le mithambo yegazi?

Njengayo yonke eminye imithambo yegazi, i-Superficial Temporal Artery inokuba nezifo ezithile kunye nomonakalo.

• I-Aneurysm: Ubuthathaka bodonga lomthambo, okubangela ukuba ludumbe njengebhaluni.
• I-Pseudoaneurysm: Ihlwili legazi elenzeka lijikeleze umthambo ngenxa yomonakalo kumthambo. Oku kunokuvakala nakwisandla njengeqhina.
• I-Temporal Arteritis / I-Giant Cell Arteritis: Le yeyona meko ixhaphakileyo neyimbi kakhulu echaphazela le mithambo. Ibangela ukudumba kodonga lwemithambo. Ixhaphake kakhulu kubantu abangaphezu kweminyaka engama-50 ubudala.
• Iingxaki ezivela kutyando lokufakelwa iplastiki ebusweni: Lo mthambo ungonakaliswa ngexesha lotyando.
• Iingozi: Lo mthambo ungonakaliswa yingozi yemoto, ukuwa, okanye ukubetheka entloko/ebusweni ngelixa udlala imidlalo.

Zithini iimpawu zomonakalo wemithambo ye-STA?

Ukuba kukho ingxaki nge-Superficial Temporal Artery yakho, unokufumana enye okanye ngaphezulu kwezi mpawu zilandelayo.

• Intloko ebuhlungu kakhulu: Intloko entsha ebuhlungu, ingakumbi kwelinye icala lentloko.
• Isiyezi
• Iqhuma elibuhlungu engalweni apho kukho umthambo: Oku kunokuvakala ngathi liqhuma elingaphantsi kolusu.
• Intlungu yamalungu kunye nokudinwa
• Ukuthamba xa uchukumisa icala lentloko okanye lentloko
• Iingxaki zokubona: Ukubona okufiphele ngequbuliso, ukubona kabini, okanye ukuphelelwa ngumbono. Le yimeko engxamisekileyo enkulu kakhulu.
• Ukopha: Kwimeko yengozi, ukopha kunokubakho kuba le mithambo yegazi ingaphezulu.

Oogqirha bayihlola njani le mithambo yegazi?

Ugqirha wakho uza kukubuza ngeempawu zakho aze akuhlole. Emva koko, ukuba kuyimfuneko, banokwenza uvavanyo oluthile ukuqinisekisa imeko yalo mthambo.

• I-Ultrasound Scan: Isebenzisa amaza esandi ukuhlola ukuhamba kwegazi kwimithambo yegazi kunye nemeko yeendonga zayo.
• I-CT Scan okanye i-Angiogram: Ezi zinokuvelisa imifanekiso ecacileyo yemithambo yegazi.
• I-Magnetic Resonance Angiogram (MRA): Isebenzisa intsimi yemagnethi ukufumana imifanekiso eneenkcukacha ze-artery.
• Uvavanyo lweGazi: Ezinye iimvavanyo zegazi zenziwa ukujonga ukudumba emzimbeni.
• I-Biopsy: Ukuba kurhanelwa ukuba kukho i-temporal arteritis, ugqirha usenokuthatha iqhekeza elincinci kakhulu lesicwili kumthambo aze alihlole.

Zithini iindlela zonyango zoku?

Unyango luxhomekeke kwimeko yakho yempilo.

• Kwi-aneurysm: yisuse ngotyando okanye uyilungise.
• Kwi-pseudoaneurysm: Inaliti ye-thrombin ingasetyenziselwa ukwenza igazi liqine okanye kwenziwe utyando oluncinci.
• Kwi-Temporal Arteritis: Kunikwa amayeza e-steroid . Oku kulawula ukudumba kwemithambo yegazi.
• Ngomonakalo obangelwe yingozi: Ukulungiswa komthambo ngotyando.

Singayigcina njani imithambo yethu yeTemporal engaphezulu isempilweni?

Akukho mfuneko yokuyinyamekela ngokukodwa le mithambo yegazi. Izinto ezifanayo ozenzayo ukugcina intliziyo yakho kunye nenkqubo yokujikeleza kwegazi isempilweni zanele ukugcina le mithambo yegazi isempilweni.

• Yitya ukutya okunesondlo: Yitya imifuno, iziqhamo, iimbotyi kunye neenkozo ezipheleleyo.
• Zilolonge rhoqo: Yenza umthambo olula njengokuhamba ubuncinane imizuzu engama-30 ngosuku.
• Kuphephe ukutshaya ngokupheleleyo: Ukutshaya kuyingozi kakhulu kwimithambo yegazi.
• Nciphisa ukusetyenziswa kotywala.
• Nciphisa ukuthathwa kwetyuwa: Ukutya ityuwa eninzi kuchaphazela uxinzelelo lwegazi.

Siyalibala ukuba la malungu amancinci omzimba wethu esingenakuwabona asebenza nzima kangakanani. Ke ngoko, ukulandela indlela yokuphila enempilo lolona ncedo lukhulu esinokulunika zonke ezi nxalenye. Kwakhona, ukuba uziva naluphi na utshintsho olungaqhelekanga okanye intlungu emzimbeni wakho, musa ukuyityeshela kwaye ungaze ulibale ukuthetha nogqirha wakho.
