He "exploded" his brain while watching television and survived | Chronic

Chloé Gallagher I was 15 when I arrived home in Ontario, Canada, after a school with a terrible headache and blurred vision and with "the feeling that your brain is exploding".

The young woman started doing homework and chatting with her friends on the phone. Over the minutes, the suffering did not slow down and to rest, she began to watch television: "Suddenly, the TV screen and my cell phone began to fade and I felt that my head would literally explode", explained to the portal MDWfeatures.

"I can not describe the pain felt that day." I got up to go to the kitchen phone because I could not see the screen of my cell phone, but when I got up from my bed, I fell down. At that time, I realized that I could not walk. "he said.

While she was alone at that time, she managed to get help from her father with her mobile phone, although she had no idea how she handled it, because she think it's thanks to the "muscle memory"Then his father asked his brother to help him and ask for an ambulance." When they arrived on the scene, they found Chloe lying on the floor screaming in pain.

Upon entering the hospital, the doctors examined his brain with a scanner showing him an aneurysm that blew his head. In order to save her, she underwent an emergency decompression craniotomy to reduce the swelling of her brain and a piece of bone the size of her hand was removed.

After the operation, they had to put her in a coma for three days. However, her parents prepared for the worst because the doctors had predicted that Chloe would suffer permanent brain damage.

When the girl awoke from a coma, she was surrounded by doctors and family members, who started to cry with happiness. She did not understand what had happened, but I said that: "Once they told me, I started crying and I hugged them, then I asked them if I had done anything to cause that and then they knew what was going to happen now. "

"I had intense pain on awakening, in addition to a double vision and I had my eyes crossed." Dual vision has disappeared and the left side has slightly improved, but I still have peripheral vision loss.he explained.

Although she has recovered, Chloe, now 24 years old, has developed epilepsy and has so far suffered from 10 to 15 seizures. In addition, they performed another surgery to remove another piece of bone.

For his improvement, he is considered at the University Hospital of London, Ontario, as a "miraculous patient". In addition, the young woman has never given up and is now looking to the future and hopes to become a nurse.
