A dilated blood vessel is not necessarily the same as an aneurysm, but it can sometimes indicate one. Follow up with a doctor for evaluation and any necessary treatment.

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.

Female | 61
Surgery is often recommended as a first-line treatment for brain tumors, but may not be the best option for everyone, especially for older adults who may have a higher risk of complications. Consult with a neurologist to discuss the best treatment options for your grandmother's specific case.

I am speechless, how can it possible. Why it's not detect on previous MRI & MRA , EEG and Brain CT also? I want a good advice from you all please help me
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.

My father suffered right subdural hematoma, and underwent surgery on 11/12/24 but on the repeat scan of 16/12/24, there was still residual hematoma, so what should be the further management. His bp stays high, in the range of 170-180 systolic, but diastolic is in normal range. Now he has left sided loss of power but he can move all limbs, gcs is 15/15, no vomiting or headache.
Male | 68
Nice to know that your father is fully awake and GCS is intact at 15. A remaining hematoma can sometimes need extra checkups. His high blood pressure is dangerous and the doctors should address it as it has an impact on the recovery. The weakness in the left side of the body is probably due to the intermitted functioning of the hematoma in the brain. You must get advice from his neurologist for personalized management, which will cover such measures as controlling blood pressure, monitoring his symptoms carefully, or seeking additional intervention for a hematoma.

Hi . We have a 19 year old girl diagnosed with Nf1 and retroperitoneal huge mass Do you have any cures for this Is there any way to get well completely if not please give us any suggestions to live longer or stop the spread Can we do radiotherapy or chemotherapy or surgery to get out some parts or is there any effective drug ?
Female | 19
NF1 may bring about tumor formation in one's body, just like the one that grew in the abdomen. Regrettably, there is no cure for NF1 at the moment. Treatment options may include the surgery of the mass, chemotherapy, or other medication to relieve symptoms and slow down the formation of the tumor. It is necessary to consult with an oncologist regarding all the alternatives to find the most suitable option for the patient.

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.

Hello, This is Edu, I am 30 years. I injured my head even my face has seams like fat. When it started with my head my hair roots were very injured now continuing to half part of my face.
Female | 30
The fat-like stitches you are telling me about could be swollen tissue from the injury. The head injury side effects like irritated hair roots and swelling are the symptoms that would show up after a head injury. At the point of not seeking help for yourself, you put yourself at a higher risk. A doctor can diagnose the problem and pick the best remediation method for you which can be medication, wound care, or surgery.

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.

Male | 23
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.

dear doctor my mother has an inoperable grade 4 glioblastoma diagnosed in february 2024. Her tumor measures 7.4x4.6x3.4 cm. she is undergoing radiotherapy and is taking chemotherapy tablets called themodal could you please give your specialist opinion?
Female | 52
Glioblastoma is an aggressive form of brain cancer, which is not feasible for us to deal with. The disease may result in symptoms viz. severe headaches, nausea, and changes in the body's functioning. 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. Both approaches of treatment are prevalent to slow down the growth of the cancer and manage symptoms. Keeping the neurosurgeons instructions in mind and monitoring her condition at regular intervals is the only way to achieve a favorable outcome.

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.

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.

SurGERY is not always neceSSARY for BRAIN TB treatMENT.. It depends on the severity, location, and response to medication.. DOCTORS may recommend surGERY to drain fluid buildup, remove a damaged portion, or relieve pressure.. However, medication is the first line of defense and often effective.. SURGERY carries risks and should be done only when required.. Always follow the doctor's adVICE and take medication as preSCRIBED..
