Derek Hough revealed his wife, Hayley Erbert, underwent emergency brain surgery.
The “Dancing with the Stars” pro-turned-judge — who is in the midst of the couple’s Symphony of Dance tour — told his Instagram followers Thursday morning that Erbert “became disoriented and was taken to the hospital” at the end of their show in Washington, D.C., Wednesday night.
“She was diagnosed with a cranial hematoma from a burst blood vessel and required an emergency craniectomy,” he explained.
According to the Mayo Clinic, an intracranial hematoma is a collection of blood within the brain tissue or underneath the skull, which then presses on the brain.
It’s usually caused by a blood vessel in the brain that bursts, typically as a result of some sort of head trauma.
