A 7-year-old San Antonio boy is recovering after suffering a hemorrhage at school and undergoing a life-saving procedure on his brain.
“I felt a migraine in my head. I felt pretty scared,” Nikko said.“I was trying to get my milk, but then I bumped my head,” he said.
University Hospital and UT Health doctors worked together and determined Nikko was suffering from a condition called brain arteriovenous malformation or AVM. The condition occurs when blood vessels that connects arteries and veins in the brain become tangled. Medina was transported to University Hospital on Oct. 12, stabilized and then had a procedure on his brain eight days later. He was released on Oct. 26 and was back in school by the end of the month.
