Your mom might face long-term effects from her brain tumor surgery, including declines in speech and movement as the tumor affects different brain areas. These issues may worsen with age, and seizures are also common. To improve her quality of life, consult a neurologist or brain tumor specialist.

It is tough to cope with the loss of control over the bladder and bowel. These problems may occur after L1 burst surgery due to injury to the nerves. Symptoms of this include not feeling the need to pee or poop or leaking. The positive news is that you can regain bladder control with pelvic floor exercises and bladder training. Request your doctor or physiotherapist to devise a plan for strengthening those muscles.

The findings indicate a stable postoperative appearance after the excision of the right mesial temporal lobe and parahippocampal gyrus, but there is progressive gliosis and volume loss in the remaining right anterior superior temporal lobe and temporal stem. Additionally, there is increased volume loss and FLAIR hyperintensities in the right fornix. It is important to consult a neurologist for further evaluation and management of these changes.
