Brain tumors

What are Brain Tumors

Brain tumors are abnormal growths of cells within the brain. They vary between benign (non-cancerous) and malignant (cancerous), and their symptoms differ based on the tumor's location and size.

Symptoms

• Recurrent headaches that worsen over time.

• Seizures.

• Weakness or numbness in part of the body.

• Changes in vision, speech, or balance.

• Nausea and vomiting in some cases.

How They Are Diagnosed

Diagnosis relies on MRI and CT scans to pinpoint the tumor's precise location and size, alongside additional diagnostic tests when necessary.

Treatment Options

• Surgical resection of the tumor.

• Complementary therapies depending on the tumor type.

• Close monitoring and observation in select cases.

How the Surgery Is Performed

The surgeon aims to remove as much of the tumor as safely possible while preserving surrounding vital brain functions, utilizing precise and guided techniques.

Recovery Period

Recovery varies based on the size and location of the tumor, and includes structured post-operative follow-up to monitor stability and progress.

Risks and Complications

Risks are thoroughly discussed prior to surgery based on the tumor's specific location and its proximity to critical areas of the brain.

Importance of a Second Medical Opinion

Before deciding on surgery, you can send your scans to receive a second medical opinion to confirm the diagnosis and clarify all available treatment options.
