Which surgery is better for grade 2 brain tumor? Should the patient opt for Radiosurgery or Craniotomy?
General Physician
Answered on 23rd May '24
Generally there are 4 types of Resection to remove a tumor:
- Gross total: The entire tumor is removed. However, sometimes microscopic cells may remain.
- Subtotal: A large portion of the tumor is removed.
- Partial: Only part of the tumor is removed.
- Biopsy only: Only a small portion is removed, which is used for a biopsy.
The treatment or surgery depends on several factors like type of cancer, the stage of cancer, location, age of patient, general health, associated comorbidities and others. Consult an oncologist, who on evaluation of the patient will guide you to choose the best treatment suitable for the patient.

I am 30 years old, a male. I'm having pains at the left side of my head to my neck since three weeks ago
Male | 30
You could be experiencing pain in your left temple which spreads to the neck. One reason for this might be stress, poor posture, or even tension. Also, looking at screens for too long could cause similar discomfort. Please take regular screen breaks and maintain good sitting or standing posture. Additionally, gentle neck exercises can help. Consult a neurologist if the pain doesn't go away.

What happens if someone eats 6 pills of neurobion forte tablets.
Female | 37
Taking 6 neurobion forte pills in one go may seem harmless but actually can prove dangerous. It is possible for the person to experience stomach pain, vomiting, and dizziness after inhaling this drug. This is due to the body becoming overloaded with certain nutrients. In this case, you should drink a lot of water, rest, and consume light foods. It's crucial not to exceed the dosage prescribed by your doctor. If the situation worsens, get in touch with a doctor.

I have tremors after taking medication. Is it tardive dyskinesia or drug-induced Parkinsonism?
Female | 37
This condition could be a result of Tardive Dyskinesia or the so-called Drug-Induced Parkinsonism. On development, tardive dyskinesia, you may experience involuntarily jittery movements in the face and extremities. Functional Parkinsonism may make you look stiff and result in slow movements. Ask your neurologist to adjust or change the dosage of your medication.

Hallo, ich bin 52 Jahre Mann . Ich habe seit 4 Jahren Tremor in der rechte Hand, bei mir ist Parkinson diagnostiziert. Welche Behandlungsmethode ist für mich relevant, kommt die Stammzellentherapie in Frage?.
Male | 52
The tremor in the right hand can be annoying. Parkinson's disease is usually a result of a lack of a chemical in the brain called dopamine. The main treatment usually consists of medications that help control dopamine deficiency. Promising stem cell therapy research is found, but it remains a non-standard Parkinson's Disease treatment. One must have a conversation with their neurologist to decide the best option compatible with the individual.

My father is 77 years old, he has shivering problem, his hands and legs shook severely, now he has no control on toilet.
Male | 77
Sounds like your dad might have something called Parkinson’s. This makes hands and legs shake a lot and causes problems controlling when you have to pee. What happens is certain cells in his brain stop working right. A neurologist can give him drugs or teach him exercises to help with these things.

My legs are having weakness. Feel like sleeping a lot. Neck pain due to cervical slso. Don't feel like eating anything
Female | 48
You seem to feel weakened as your legs are not strong. Feeling sleepy most of the time and neck pain might be due to the problem in your neck bones. Not being hungry is also one of the consequences of the issue. Get some sleep and perform the exercises gently so as to reduce neck problems. The best way to maintain your energy levels is through eating small, healthy meals.

I’m 28 years old female..I have this right side temple and eye pain…it comes and goes..a dull pain..im a shortsighted person..can it be due to my sight problem or could it be a sinus problem??
Female | 28
The pain in your right temple and eye could be due to your shortsightedness, as eye strain can cause headaches. However, it could also be related to sinus issues. I recommend visiting an ophthalmologist to check your vision and an ENT specialist to rule out sinus problems.

Hi there, I'm a 34 year old woman, and I've been experiencing a persistent headache behind my ear on the right side. It's been bothering me for the past week, and I'm starting to get concerned. The pain is sharp and seems to be concentrated in that area. I've tried over-the-counter pain relievers, but they don't provide much relief. I'm wondering if anyone else has dealt with a similar issue or if there are specific treatments or remedies I should consider for this headache behind my ear on the right side. Any advice or insights would be greatly appreciated.

Persistent headaches need attention. Please consult a neurologist for evaluation and treatment. Don’t delay.

Vertigo is the sensation of perceiving that everything is moving without the body moving. Weakness and headaches may have various causes such as dehydration, stress, lack of sleep, or even certain medical conditions. Check that you are consuming enough water, sleeping enough, and relieving stress. If these symptoms continue, it is crucial to consult a neurologist for a proper diagnosis and treatment.

I am 16 years old male and I have headache in one side of head till 3 days and I have used saridon to recover this .
Male | 16
You have had a headache on one side of your head for about 3 days. That may be a migraine. Migraines are sharp pains in the head that happen on one side of the head after nausea or sensitivity to light. Saridon might alleviate the pain for a while, however, it is essential to find out about the causes of your migraines. Notice any symptoms you have and whatever triggers lead up to your headaches. Avoiding heiks like stress, lack of sleep, favorite foods, or loud noises may help you stop migraines. Should headaches continue or deteriorate, a doctor is the right person to consult.

There is pain that I feel on the right side of my forehead and I feel the pain when I touch it,I think my skull has a Crack...What must I do and I have headaches
Male | 17
The headache you have on the right side of your forehead may be a result of many things, examples being tension headaches, migraines, or sinus infections. It is recommended to consult a neurologist who will perform the physical exam and differentiate diagnoses of similar signs such as cognitive decline.

Sudden headache followed by Unconsciousness. It happens frequently. MRI, CT SCAN, Report are normal. Deprived sleep EEG shows abnormalities that is sudden spike in waves. She also feels sudden headache at either Side of head nerves gets swallow and got Unconsciousness. Before taking treatment she recognised her giddiness and control herself. But after starting treatment/medication she couldn't recognise any giddiness. She got Unconsciousness and freefall on ground resulting in injury in other parts of body.
Female | 40
The person is said to be having a focal seizure, which is a type of seizure. This can lead to sudden headaches, unconsciousness, and loss of control. The brain wave patterns that are incompatible with the EEG confirm this. Doctors can prescribe these medications to control the seizures and thereby avoid any injuries resulting from falls. It's paramount to follow up your treatment with a neurologist for a thorough diagnosis and the right therapy.

Good evening Doctor one of my cousin who is 11 yrs old last night suddenly her left leg n hand paralysed... Today we took her to the hospital they scanned her spinal cord fluid but the reports are normal ...what is the reason for her condition
Female | 11
It is caused by a temporary breakdown that interrupts the blood flow to the brain or nerves. The result from the spinal cord fluid scan indicates that she is normal. I would insist on regular checking where she can have enough rest, as it is key to her recovery. Typically, the body heals itself after some time, so in most cases, the paralysis will disappear. If, after all this period, she still experiences these symptoms or possibly worsens, then much stress is seen to be caused, and the situation demands continuous communication with her neurologist for safety.

Mildly hyperdense (HU 42) nodular lesions are seen in the right frontoparietal lobe in the periventricular region. Post contrast images show conglomerate nodular enhancement of these lesions (post contrast 58 HU). Lesions collectively measures approx. 32x18x17 mm. There is surrounding hypodense perilesional edema. No mass effect is seen on right lateral ventricle. No calcific or haemorrhagic densities are observed. Findings are likely suggestive of an underlying neoplastic etiology. Suggest: Contrast MRI brain with spectroscopy evaluation for characterisation. Rest of the brain parenchyma is normal in attenuation. Gray-white matter differentiation
Female | 65
The research suggests strange growths in the right frontoparietal lobe of the brain. They might be a tumor. Usual signs can be such as headaches, visual changes, or seizures. Contrast MRI with spectroscopy can be used to find out what type of growth it is. It is crucial to see an oncologist for proper treatment.

I am suffering from 20 years headache and vomiting .Now I am taking medicine with my psychiatrist phycian. Some time I feel batter after taking medicine and some time I feel bad.
Female | 43
It is possible to have headaches and nausea coming from different causes such as stress, tension, or medical disorders that are hidden. The likelihood that your pain changes with medicine implies that either the dose or the type needs to be altered. I recommend you communicate constantly with your psychiatrist to manage the problem efficiently. Keeping a symptom diary is one way to determine the patterns and triggers. Alternatively, try mind-body exercises or changes in lifestyle as they will undoubtedly help to get relief. You can consult a neurologist for advice.

It seems you might have a health issue called peripheral neuropathy. This makes nerves send wrong signals to the brain. It makes feet and palms feel burning pains. It also hurts legs calves and muscles. This happens from diabetes, nutrition problems, or infections. To feel better, see a neurologist. They will find out what causes it. They might give meds, physical therapy, or life changes.

Ive been facing tingling in hands and feet also having digestive issues since 1 week, had mild headache also. And now when I fall asleep, my whole body keeps shaking, gets normal, when I move little. Yesterday got my blood reports. I have 197 VIT B12 on ref level of 211-950(acc to lab). Therfore a deficiency. Also vast deficiency in VIT D. Is it all happening because of these deficiencies? Or any other reason?
Female | 19
Your symptoms suggest vitamin deficiencies. Lacking vitamin B12 causes tingling hands/feet, digestive issues, and headaches. Deficient vitamin D prompts shaky sleep sensations. These deficiencies likely cause your symptoms. To fix this, eat vitamin B12 and D-rich foods. Your doctor may also suggest supplements to restore levels.
