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.

Your seizures are related to past brain surgery. It's good that you're taking medication regularly to manage them. However, it's important to visit a neurologist for regular check-ups. They can review your treatment and ensure that you're on the right medication.

What is calcified lesion in the right lobe?
Male | 39
A calcified lesion in the right lobe usually means there is a hard, calcium deposit in that area, often seen in the liver or lung. This can be due to old infections, inflammation, or other conditions. It's best to visit a specialist, like a hepatologist for liver issues or a pulmonologist for lung issues, to get proper evaluation and treatment.

Yesterday 13 July 2024 I received MRI report of my wife who did MRI because feeling pressure on jaw and right side of the head, she also feel drowsiness like she is floating. She doesn't have sever headache but above mentioned symptoms have been common through they day for a month now. It gets worse when she is stressed. The MRI showed she had "large left fronto-temporal arachnoid cyst that measures approx 8.4cm in craniocaudal extent, 5cm from side to side and 5.4 cm in greatest antero-posterior dimension, it's causing hypoplasia of the left fronto-temporal lobes" Very worried about this, is this very serious? When do we know it's serious? What should we do about it? What are the surgery options? Is it better to do surgery or leave it as it is?
Female | 31
The problems your wife has are most likely due to the arachnoid cyst. This is a small, fluid-filled pouch that develops in the brain and may lead to pressure and dizziness. Although very serious, not every arachnoid cyst requires surgery. This issue in the long term may be diminished by consistent monitoring by a neurosurgeon to check for early warning signs. In some cases, the operation is an answer to avoid the worsening of the symptoms or the visible growth of the cyst. The road to recovery can provide the most appropriate therapy options with a neurosurgeon to come up with the best possible solution.

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?

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.

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.

Hi, my mother was operated with the diagnosis of brain tumor about 15 years ago, she was very good at first, she did not lose any speech and movement ability, but now, unfortunately, she cannot speak fully and her movement ability has dropped very much. We have taken her to many doctors in Turkey and every doctor says that these are normal because her age is advanced and that it is normal and that it will get worse and worse and that she will lose her ability to move and speak (her age is 59), sometimes she has seizures. What can we do about this, what can we do to have a better standard of living? What kind of treatment method do you apply and how much is your fee respects!!!
Female | 59
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. They can recommend treatments like seizure medications, physical therapy, and speech therapy. Regular check-ups will help monitor progress and adjust her treatment plan as needed.

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.
