Male | 63
You've faced major challenges. A glioblastoma, a grade IV brain tumor, causes jerky movements, weakness, and walking difficulty. Sometimes they grow rapidly, making early detection tricky. Surgery aims to remove most of the tumor. Then radiation and chemotherapy followed. Discuss treatment options thoroughly with your neurologist. Stay resilient during this difficult time.

Subtle acute subarachnoid hemorrhage involving right tentorial leaflet
Female | 60
If you had this condition, it would signify that there has been a tiny amount of blood leaked into the brain lining on the right side. Symptoms might include severe head pain, vomiting, nausea, and stiffness in the neck. Causes can be high blood pressure or an injury to the head such as from a fall or car accident. An aneurysm burst occurs when a weak spot in a blood vessel wall swells like a balloon. Eventually, it bursts, releasing its contents into surrounding tissues, potentially affecting the brain. Often treatment involves being closely watched in the hospital where doctors will also do some tests before deciding what might need doing next. Remember always to follow your neurologist's advice carefully.

Sir, our patient was told by the Drs on the eve of the feast. He suffered a cerebral hemorrhage due to sudden high blood pressure. He was operated on and a drain was inserted. He was intubated for the first 3 days, and reintubated 4 days later. It was informed that our patient reacted to pain but could not wake up because he was unconscious. We watched him react to some reactions, but his doctors say that these reactions are meaningless, for example, when I tickled the bottom of our patient's right foot, I saw that his right toes made small movements and I saw him open his eyes. and I looked from left to right with eye movements and I saw tears flowing from my left eye, I couldn't see this feeling in the left foot. When we wet it with cotton, I saw mouth and lip movements move, I saw movements that were disturbed by thirst, but there was no speech, but the first 10 legs of his body were very swollen and cold. In the last week, keep the body on fire, from the feet to the head, the body temperature is very high. Our patient was operated on the 14th day. Drainage has changed Dear teacher, we need you about the general condition of our patient, can you get back to us, can we share our patient's information?
Erkek | 75

Conventional methods in the stream of treatment rather than the mainstay are therapies using radiation and chemotherapy drugs of oral forms like tablets for chemotherapy.
