He was referred to Kovai Medical Centre and Hospital by Neuro Department in Dhaka Military Hospital for treatment of 'ruptured cerebral aneurysm' (balloon in the vessel).
The condition of the man, whose identity was not disclosed, was such that he had persistent headaches followed by nausea and vomitting and unconsciousness for almost a month, the hospital said in a release.
The hospital at Dhaka had diagnosed the man with having ruptured aneurysm in the brain and treated him accordingly. But he had a re-bleed from the balloon in the brain vessel again and was referred to KMCH.
The micro neuro surgical clipping of the aneurysm was successfully done and the patient returned to his country within in a week, the release said.
This kind of condition can occur to close to six per cent of the population, it said.
