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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

My name is shameer .I have surgery L1 burst .and loss control on bladder and bowel .11 months completed .how gain Bladder regaining power
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.

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.

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?

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.
