Hrithik Roshan brain surgery: What is chronic subdural haematoma?
On Sunday, superstar Hrithik Roshan, tweeted that he was going to have brain surgery at Hinduja Hospital. While everyone was shocked at the star’s tweet, his father Rakesh Roshan tweeted that he was suffering from a condition called ‘chronic subdural haematoma’. Curious to know what the Krrish 3 star is suffering from?
Subdural haematomaA chronic subdural haematoma is a collection of blood and the products of its breakdown between the surface of the brain and its outermost covering – called the dura. In this condition, the blood slowly leaks out of the veins surrounding the brain to form a clot. The condition is termed ‘chronic’ because it manifests several weeks after it first starts to bleed.
Usually this type of bleeding occurs when a person suffers a mild head injury (reports suggest that Hrithik suffered a head injury during the filming of Krrish 3) or when a haemorrhage has been left to heal itself. It is also seen in elderly people, due to the shrinking of the brain. In most cases a person might not even know that he/she is suffering from the condition, but might experience mild symptoms such as dizziness, headaches and drowsiness. In severe cases he/she might suffer from severe symptoms like vomiting, confusion, coma and difficulty in speaking or swallowing.
In order to diagnose the condition a doctor will first ask about the patient’s medical history and any other symptom they might be suffering from. He/she will then proceed to check the patient’s nervous responses by checking their coordination, balance etc. In most cases the signs and symptoms of a haematoma are extremely subtle, therefore a doctor will advice the patient to get a head CT scan or a head MRI to get a more precise diagnosis.
Once diagnosed, the doctor will decide the type of surgery that needs to be performed to stop the bleeding. There are generally three main types:
Burr hole trephination: Where a surgeon will drill holes into the skull of the patient over the area of the subdural haematoma, and the clot is then suctioned out through these holes.
Craniotomy: Here the surgeon removes a small piece of the skull to access the haematoma. This also helps to relieve the swelling in the brain. He/she will then replace the piece of bone after removing the clot.
Craniectomy: This procedure is done to mainly relieve the pressure on the brain due to swelling caused because of the bleed. Here, a section of the person’s skull is removed for an extended period of time, to allow the brain to expand without causing any permanent damage. Although this procedure is not used commonly in the case of a subdural haematoma, it may be used in severe cases.
After surgery a patient usually is required to stay in the hospital for about one week and is monitored closely for any signs of further brain injuries. Depending on the severity of the surgery, the surgeon may prescribe medication to relieve pain and antibiotics.
As of now there is news trickling in that Hrithik Roshan’s surgery has been completed successfully, and he is safe and resting at the hospital. We wish him a speedy recovery.
Hrithik Roshan’s back with a bang after his brain surgery!
In his first media interview, after the surgery for blood clot in his brain, Hrithik Roshan talked to TOI about recuperating from a brain surgery and how he left him stronger. He said the surgery experience was mind-blowing (literally) and it left him feeling stronger and better. ‘It was effortless and not even for a second did I feel fear; that was surprising even to myself. I was very objective about the whole thing. God knows where such clarity and strength came from. I’ve realised through my years that there is no need to be afraid of anything,’ he told TOI in the interview.
So how does a superstar spend their days off? He spent time with the family, read and even wrote a poem; claiming that anything creative can get out of a dark place!
The actor was also present at the Dahi Handi celebration in Ghatkopar on Thursday even though he was advised by the docs to stay away from such events since he underwent brain surgery.
‘My doctors told me not to go to a place where there is a lot of noise as it might affect the senses. I was also told that I shouldn’t go to a crowded place where I might get pushed,’ says Hrithik. ‘These are valid concerns but I feel that nothing can harm you when you are giving love. I felt completely protected.’ Hrithik, who spent about an hour at the function, insists ‘when someone does something great for others, it’s always wonderful to be a part of it and contribute.’ Apparently, the mandal that organised the Dahi Handi, which Hrithik visited, has donated part of the prize money to an NGO supporting tribal girls suffering from starvation. ‘The euphoria was so overwhelming that I just went with the flow. The energy out there was incredible. And it was also for a social cause supporting tribal girls which is also why I chose to go. I can’t believe that I jumped and danced, even though I’m not allowed to right now,’ says Hrithik.

Kareena Kapoor: Hrithik Roshan is one of finest actors in our country
Actress Kareena Kapoor believes Hrithik Roshan, her co-star in the upcoming film Shuddhi, is one of the country's finest actors.
"I am very excited about Shuddhi. We're both working together after such a long time. He is such a fine actor. He is one of finest actors in our country," Kareena said.
"I am looking forward to this film. We will start shooting from January 2014," she added.
Kareena and Hrithik's pairing has been seen in movies Yaadein, Mujhse Dosti Karoge!, Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham and Main Prem Ki Diwani Hoon. For Shuddhi, they are teaming up after a decade.
The movie, directed by Karan Malhotra, is said to be an intense love story which will be widely shot in Mumbai and Uttarakhand.
Madhuri Dixit to act with Hrithik Roshan?
While Hrithik Roshan is a superstar himself and every girls fantasy, the honey-eyed actor is mad about Madhuri Dixit Nene. Yes, the Krrish 3 actor has been looking for a perfect script to come his way so that he can fulfill his wish of acting alongside the Ghagra girl. In fact, Karan Johar and Jr Roshan have been trying hard to work out the possibility of a cameo for Mads in their film Shuddhi. But Madhuri is running on a tight schedule so only time will tell if things actually materialise or not. And that’s just not it!
The dancing diva, it is learnt may agree to do an item number with Hrithik, if not a cameo. Apparently, the whole idea of an item number starring the two terrific dancers started on the sets of reality show Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa 6 where Madhuri and Karan are currently on the judging panel.
We are sure it would be a visual delight to watch Mads and HR shake a leg together. Two dancing superstars in one item mumber – we are keeping our fingers crossed!
Rakesh Roshan: I told Hrithik that I cannot shoot Krrish 3!
The Krrish 3 director confesses that he was reluctant to shoot the third part of his superhero franchise
Hrithik Roshan believes that it takes three seconds to decide if you are a superhero or not. The 39-year-old hunk maintains that papa Rakesh Roshan is a superhero in real life. But not many know that even Sr Roshan needed Hrithik’s confidence to shoot for Krrish 3. “I had written a script for Krrish 3, but I trashed it, as I was not convinced – and I started writing a fresh script. While writing this one, I lost the conviction mid-way and gave it up. Then one day, I got this idea and started writing for the third time. When I was done, I made Hrithik hear the script and he loved it. Just when I finished the script (the new one), I went to Hrithik and told him that I cannot shoot this, I was very, very nervous, but Hrithik gave me confidence,” says Rakesh Roshan on trade expert Komal Nahta’s popular chat show ETC Bollywood Business.
