The Bollywood star was having headaches for the past 2 months, his family mentioned. however not till a CT scan along with an MRI were performed on Friday was it unconcealed that he was affected by subacute subdural haematoma, a brain condition commonly seen in those on top of sixty five. Late on saturday, the 39-year-old was hurried to Hinduja care in Khar when he also began experiencing weakness in his right hand.
In subdural haematoma, blood clots form between the surface of the brain and its tough covering known as dura mater. a minimum of within the young, it’s most frequently the results of head injuries. which is however it developed in Hrithik too, doctors believe. “He has been shooting several action sequences. Around 2 months agone, he leaped from a height of 30 feet and sustained an injury whereas falling into a water body,” told Hrithik Roshan’s doctor, adviser neurosurgeon Dr B K Mishra.
The actor started experiencing headaches shortly when the accident. until a month ago although, a CT scan failed to show a clot.
At 2pm on Sunday, Hrithik Roshan was taken for surgery. The minor procedure involved drilling alittle hole in the skull and sucking the clot out. It lasted an hour and a half, throughout which his family members were present at the Khar hospital. After the operation, he was shifted to the ward. The hospital said the actor’s headache is now better and hand function normal. Dr Mishra observed that he will be discharged in three days, but will need at least a month’s rest.
Hrithik Roshan’s wife Sussanne said in a statement, “Thank you for all your love and concern. Hrithik Roshan has come out of the surgery stronger than ever before.”
Dr Mishra said the actor was lucky that the clot was diagnosed just when it had started increasing. Brain clots have a tendency to draw fluids from the adjoining areas. “Usually, it starts with water and then begins draining blood,” he explained. Jaslok Hospital’s director of neurosurgery Dr Paresh Doshi added that it was surprising the condition hit the young star: “It can be serious for the young if not treated on time.”
The actor’s father Rakesh Roshan said: “He hit his head during the shooting of ‘Bang Bang’ two months back in Phuket.”
Before going for surgery, Hrithik Roshan had tweeted, “Minor brain surgery to remove blood clot” Should be rock n rolling by evening! U guys have a great day too! Supersonic!!”
