Accordingly, female tourist Mak Somaly, 49, a Cambodian national, was hospitalised in a sudden state of severe headache and continuous vomiting.

After diagnosing CT and MRI scans, doctors confirmed that the patient had a subarachnoid hemorrhage due to a ruptured brain aneurysm, the cause of a sudden, severe headache and decreased vision.

After 60 minutes of patient admission, the doctors identified and completely removed the aneurysm.

After the intervention, the female patient also improved her health quickly. She didn’t suffer from headache anymore and her vision returned to normal.

After 10 days in the hospital, the patient had no neurological and motor damage and recovered her physical strength. She has been discharged from the hospital.
