RMLIMS Lucknow doctors perform rare brain surgery on woman with carotid-cavernous fistula
Lucknow: Doctors at the Ram Manohar Lohia Institute of Medical Sciences (RMLIMS) saved the life of a woman suffering from a complex brain condition called carotid-cavernous fistula (CCF) by successfully performing a surgery.
The surgery was performed a week ago and the patient was discharged last week.
Geeta Devi, a 42-year-old woman from Ballia, had a close call when she fell off her scooter after getting tangled in a kite thread.

The accident seemed minor at first, but 15 days later, she faced a serious condition (CCF).
This condition happens when the main artery of the brain, the internal carotid artery, gets connected with the veins of the eye. This puts pressure on the eye and can even lead to vision loss or stroke.
Geeta’s eyes had started bulging and her vision became blurry.
