The club’s initial report indicated that Altamirano had suffered a thrombosis of the superior longitudinal sinus of the brain. Clarion He consulted with Dr. Facundo Rodríguez, coincidentally a neurosurgeon at Fleni, who explained the pathology.
“Thrombosis is basically an occlusion in the sinus due to a thrombus. Just as a heart attack is generated when an artery is obstructed, here what happened to Altamirano is that the superior longitudinal sinus suffered an obstruction,” graphed the neurosurgeon in an extensive explanation.
As detailed in the newspaper El Día de La Plata, Altamirano had been awake since Sunday night and in good spirits, after receiving the support of his family. His pregnant wife had to be treated that same Sunday for a nervous breakdown and his mother traveled urgently from Chile on Tuesday.
