Understanding Calcified Lesion in Right Lobe
What is calcified lesion in the right lobe?
Neurosurgeon
Answered on 26th July '24
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.

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.

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.

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.

my grandmother went into a coma caused by hepatic encephalopathy. she was completely fine until her hands started trembling and she started vomiting one morning. there were no symptoms before that. she does have liver cirrhosis. she was taken to a hospital approximately 12 hours after this happened and placed into an ICU with a ventilator. she regained consciousness in about 24 hours, after the ammonia had been flushed out from the brain and the chest. she was in critical condition, but has been recovering well. now off the ventilator she does have noticeable personality changes yet good memory. this to me is extremely scary. she also seems less aware of the environment and takes longer to answer. could these affects be temporary or permanent?
Female | 70
Hepatic encephalopathy, which is the cause of her coma, can result in some temporary changes in personality and slow thinking. This is because the liver is not functioning properly and the toxins are building up in the brain. However, these effects might be lessened with treatment and time.

Male | 65
Forgetfulness is one of the symptoms of a severe health problem. The MRI revealed a tumor on the brain in this case. Brain tumor warning signs may include memory difficulties, headaches, and vision changes. A positive result is possible through surgery to remove the tumor and thereby eliminate the symptoms. Consult a neurologist about the risks and benefits of making the right decision for your father's health.
