Blood Pressure Increase After Acoustic Neuroma Surgery

[masonlee]

Hi,

My father was having an acoustic neuroma tumor in his brain and last week the tumor was removed by surgery.

Before the surgery his blood pressure is around 140 but after the surgery his blood pressure increased to around 200 and caused internal bleeding in his brain. After doctor sedeted him, his blood pressure drop to around 120.

Because of the bleeding now he still in coma, doctor unable to wake him up after stop sedeted him and now his blood pressure back to 200 today. My father did not have blood pressure problem before this. Is it normal for blood pressure to increase after brain tumor removal surgery?

Thanks.

This is way more complex than just a "blood pressure problem".

Yeah agree. Now we are worrying this high blood pressure will cause internal bleeding in his brain again. Doctor said now the blood clot in his brain is quite big. Hopefully after he wake up, his brain still can function normally.

Yeah, wish you all luck. Cerebral haemorrhages can go any way. I've seen death from seemingly small ones and recovery (of sorts) from some huge ones. You just can't know because blood in this enclosed space still can drain, reabsorb etc. There is an awful lot of luck involved when one happens. It'll be bumpy now, but there is still room for hope.
