Mother of two has been receiving treatment at Rashid Hospital after slipping into coma in April 2015
A Filipina who has been undergoing treatment and physiotherapy at Rashid Hospital after waking up from a nine-month coma is now well on her way to recovery and is ready to go back to the Philippines to see her children.
Perlite Almonte, 35, was first admitted to the hospital on April 18, 2015 after she was found unconscious in the bathroom of her house. Doctors who examined Almonte said she had slipped into a coma.
Dr Zeyad Al Rais, Head of Critical Care Department at Rashid Hospital, said Almonte fell into a coma because of intracerebral haemorrhage, a life-threatening type of stroke caused by bleeding within the brain tissue.
“Perlite suffered from an intracerebral haemorrhage due to aneurysmal bleeding,” Dr Al Rais said.
An aneurysm is a balloon-like bulge or weakening of the arterial wall, Dr Al Rais explained. As the bulge grows, the arterial wall becomes thinner and weaker. It can become so thin that the blood pressure within can cause it to burst or leak
What a great story!
It’s serious.
