Could my hoarseness be due to Pineal region tumor?

I am a 46yr old female, experienced hoarseness for more than a year after covid, I did a ct scan which reveals Avidly enhancing extra axial mass just posterior to the pineal gland. Pineal region meningioma vrs pineocytoma.

Answered on 18th Sept '24

The CT scan showing a mass near your pineal gland could be a meningioma or a pineocytoma, two tumors that can have similar effects. Both of them may result in headaches and vision problems. A neurosurgeon can help run through the methods, and the main treatment can consist of surgery or other alternatives, as the specific type of tumor requires.

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

I would suggest to consult with the patient's doctors and nurses directly involved in their care for accurate information and updates regarding their condition and share your concerns directly with them.

Female | 43

Grade 4 astrocytomas are aggressive brain cancers. Prognosis varies but typically includes surgery, radiation therapy (RT), and chemotherapy (CT). She should see her team regularly along with other experts if they feel it necessary. New symptoms such as fever, seizures increased headaches or behavioral changes mean that we need an immediate discussion so we may start correctly with the treatment regime too isolated be too. Medical guidance is important in deciding what will work ultimately.

You might be experiencing significant head discomfort, which could be due to a growth or lump. Such symptoms can cause concern. It's crucial to consult a doctor who can thoroughly examine you and provide appropriate treatment.

Female | 16

The brain is protected by the skull, but there are no specific circular or ring-shaped bones associated with the limbic system and hypothalamus. These regions are part of the brain's structure and function independently within the skull's protection. And the brain's structure consists of various regions and structures that work together to regulate functions such as emotions, memory, and homeostasis, with the protection provided by the skull.

Do my son need shunt surgery

Male | 19

I cannot provide personalized medical advice or diagnose online. If you are concerned about your son's health and whether he needs shunt surgery, consult with a professional pediatrician or a neurosurgeon. Shunt surgery is recommended for individuals with hydrocephalus or other conditions that cause an abnormal accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in the brain, leading to increased pressure and damage to brain tissue.
