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.

I am 48 years old and suffering from carpal tunnel from past 6 years. Earlier problem was not so much but now I am feeling numbness in my right hand while writing or doing any particular work. Should I go for surgery? Is there any physiotherapy after surgery and after how long I can do writing work as I am a teacher
Female | 48
You should go for surgery if your symptoms are very severe and make it difficult for you to do your everyday activities. Yes, after surgery, physiotherapy is done for better flexibility and strength. When can you resume writing and other work depends on the type of surgery you had and other things. It is important to listen to your doctor and start writing only after consulting him.

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.

My daughter is challenging with obstructive hydrocephalus.so you are suggesting me.who is the best doctor to my baby?
Female | 10 months
Symptoms may include headaches, vomiting, blurred vision, and changes in behavior. This condition arises when fluid accumulates in the brain, often due to blockages. Seeking advice from a pediatric neurologist or neurosurgeon specialized in this area is essential for proper diagnosis and management. They can recommend effective treatment options, which may include surgery to relieve pressure. I encourage you to reach out to a local children's hospital for a referral to a qualified specialist.
