Relieving a Child's Suffering from Muscle Tumors At Al-Mouwasat Hospital in Al-Khobar
The medical team at Al-Mouwasat Hospital in Al-Khobar successfully ended the suffering of a ten-year-old girl who was experiencing a sudden high fever and abdominal pain. She had a medical history of tuberous sclerosis and multiple angiomyolipomas in her kidneys.
Additionally, she had a history of recurrent infections and bacterial infections in one of these tumors, which necessitated frequent hospital admissions and antibiotic treatments.
Upon the child's arrival at the hospital's emergency department, Dr. Marwa Nabhan, a pediatric consultant, examined her condition. Initial tests revealed a significant increase in inflammatory markers. A CT scan of the abdomen showed inflammation in one of the large angiomyolipomas in the kidneys. Dr. Nabhan decided to start antibiotic treatment and formed a medical team including Dr. Ahmed Al-Naami, an interventional radiology consultant, and Dr. Ihsan Al-Faraj, a pediatric oncology consultant, to discuss the treatment plan and explain all details and options to the child's family.
The team agreed on performing an interventional radiology procedure to embolize the tumor, successfully carried out by Dr. Ahmed Al-Naami. This was followed by a recovery period and monitoring in intensive care, leading to a reduction in the tumor size. Follow-up check-ups confirmed the reduction, ending the child's recurrent infections and bacterial complications.
It is worth noting that this type of treatment is considered advanced and requires sophisticated techniques and high-level expertise to handle such cases. This aligns with the vision of Al-Mouwasat Medical Services Company in attracting highly specialized talents and providing the latest medical technologies and equipment.
