there is mid-line shift,the lesion is surounded by edema with minimal enhancement.<The primary tumor was in the left frontal lobe>

Mid line shift means that there is a mass lesion (a lump) of some sort. It is not likely to be scarring (which shrinks as it heals). It would be important to consider abscess/infection and tumour recurrence. Good luck!

Out of curiosity, was this found on a CT scan or MRI?\n\nMeningiomas represent about 15 percent of all primary brain tumors and 12 percent of all spinal cord tumors. They can occur in children, but most often occur in adults between the ages of 40 and 60 years. Most meningiomas are benign, as less than 10 percent of meningiomas are malignant.\n\nWhat is a meningioma?\nA meningioma is a brain tumor that grows in the meninges, a thin layer of tissue covering the brain and spinal cord. Some meningiomas contain cysts or calcified mineral deposits, and others contain hundreds of tiny blood vessels. Because meningiomas tend to grow inward, they commonly cause pressure on the brain or spinal cord. Although less common, meningiomas can grow outward, causing the skull to thicken. Meningiomas grow very slowly, and it is often many years before they become symptomatic.

So basically, your child has just been diagnosed with a neoplasm and you're thinking about suing the doctor presumably  for economic purposes. wow.\n\n////\n\nTo reply again: you're saying they misdiagnosed.  have you referred the child to another pool of doctors who drew another diagnose? is there no paraclinical evidence (cat,  rm scans, biopsing, etc) to back the original diagnosis?\n\nbasically, you're saying the neurologist drew the diagnosis out of thin air.

Demand a second opinion. Positive note I had similar symptoms for years rarely a day off. I had a brain scan, a EEG and other tests turns out I have hemiplegic migraines - very scary. I have an aura with mine - a bad taste often triggered by what I eat or smell. Gloss paint sends me off my legs for up to 2 weeks. I was investigated for having a stroke! Go back an see your Dr if symptoms don't improve and demand further tests! Have allergy/ sensitivity tests done, mine showed my triggers as being corn, melon, larger etc. I changed my diet and took FEVER FEW natural health supps and have made a fantastic recovery, with the occasional relapse. I f your symptoms are new to you and you have had no further investigations than a DR appointment, go back and demand more. Take a friend or relative with you if your reluctant to push the issue. You only have one life - enjoy it. Luv J xx

You need to get her to a neurologist right now!  This sounds like a serious head injury.  If there is bleeding in the brain, many bad things can happen.
292633
many things can show up on an MRI...tumor is definately one of them, another is swelling (which can be caused by many things), bleeding is another, but that is unlikely at this point. Most likely it is a tumor. rapid growth does not necesarily mean that it is malignant (cancerous), benign (non-cancerous) tumors can grow as well. That is what a biopsy will tell the docs, and from there they will look at how possible a surgery is to remove it. First they may have to do radiation to shrink a tumor. but they will fill you in on that when they find out results. To make things easier to understnad when you get results of a biopsy ask if a nurse can be in the room, nurses usually can answer questions in people terms instead of doctor terms like docs do.

hopefully not...\none common sign of a brain tumor are headaches that prevent you from sleeping, or morning headaches.\n\ni would request an mri from your doctor.

If it is just a little bit scaly or the skin is thin in this area it could very well be skin cancer.......but the good news is it may at this point only have penetrated the skin......I had it and it was treated....a small spot on my back.....as soon as I felt it and it didn't go away for a week or so I went to the doctor.  (mine was a brown color too by the way)......\nOn something like this you need to act quickly and go to the doctor immediately.......you don't want it to go into your system...the longer you wait the more chances you are taking.\nBetter to be safe than sorry.............look up in google and as for pictures of skin conditions or skin cancer for pictures.  should be there.

I'm not sure of the function of the Left Sylvian Fissure but there is a way to remove tumors a, cancerous and non cancerous from the brain that are inoperable if the funcion of the brain isn't to compromised. I underwent a procedure called Gamma Knife Surgery. It uses radiosugery with radiation to destroy brain matter. There are only 100 gamma knifes in the U.S. I think so it's a specialized tool.

It doesn't sound like the type of thing I would ignore, but I wouldn't jump to extreme conclusions like a brain tumor or something.\n\nActually, it sounds more like poor circulation, and that CAN be VERY serious in the brain - i.e. strokes.  It is definitely something to head to the doctor about.  This can cause very serious problems.  If nothing else, you may have tendinitis in your feet and some inserts or physical therapy could help.  That part sounds especially odd.

With well-differentiated astrocytomas, the symptoms may remain static or progress only slowly over a number of years, with a mean survival of more than 5 years. Eventually, however, patients usually have more rapid clinical deterioration that is generally correlated with the appearance of anaplastic features and more rapid growth of the tumor. The prognosis for patients with glioblastoma is very poor. With current treatment, consisting of resection when feasible together with radiotherapy and chemotherapy, the mean length of survival after diagnosis is only 8 to 10 months; fewer than 10% of patients are alive after 2 years. Survival is substantially shorter in older patients.\n\n-random physician

Hi There\n\nHere are some ideas to consider healing your issue. A lot of info here, but worth reading. The Incuralbles program would be the most beneficial for long term. #10 and #16\n\nBrain Tumors: The most common tumors of the brain are the meningiomas, derived from the coverings of the brain, and the gliomas. Sarcomas and cancers do occur but are almost always derived from tumors in other parts of the body, for example, the breast and the bowel. Tumors of any size and duration produce certain general symptoms indicative of an increase in the intra cranial pressure, namely, headache, vomiting and optic neuritis or swelling of the optic nerve just as it enters the eyeball. Dizziness is another common symptom, and in the late stages mental changes may occur. In tumors of the frontal lobe mental changes are sometimes the earliest indication of the disease process. Tumors of the temporal lobe often produce a dreamy state, sometimes associated with hallucinations of smell. The position of the tumor may often be determined by noting the muscular and sensory abnormalities of various parts of the body and correlating the findings with what is known regarding the localization of function in the brain." \n\nThe brain must be properly nourished and kept free of inorganic materials that can cause this tremendous organ to malfunction. \n\nCause \nThe inability to eliminate unhealthy material. \n\nHundreds of women have wondered why they have tumors and cysts in their bodies. The cause, according to Dr. Christopher, is potassium deficiency. When a patient takes plenty of potassium foods (not supplements) you can remove the cause of the cysts and tumors. Other foods, which are lower in potassium, must not be increased when you are trying to increase the potassium in the system. When patients go on the three-day cleanse and mucusless diet and take the female corrective formulas [Nu Fem], they receive nourishment which is high in potassium. Miraculous things happen to them. For even faster results, you can add to each cup of herb tea six to ten drops of elderberry tincture or six to ten drops of black walnut tincture, both of which are extremely high in potassium. \n\nCysts and tumors are like leeches, but they stay in places where there is a body deficiency. As soon as the body is balanced and well, the cysts and tumors have to go, because the material is too healthy for them to live on. \n\nThis is why so many patients brought Dr. Christopher cysts and tumors in various sizes that they had expelled from their bodies. There is not enough food, in the form of dying or deficient body materials, so they just decide to leave. \n\nThere are several ways to receive your potassium. Dr. Bernard Jensen sells a potassium broth made from dehydrated vegetables. Dr. Bronner makes a similar, excellent product. You can also make your own potassium broth by simmering equal parts of red potatoes, celery, carrots, onions, and herbs to taste. Raw vegetable and fruit juices also flood the system with potassium. \n\nWhen cysts or tumors grow in places where they can be seen outside the body, often we react by having them cut out. This defeats healing by working on the effect instead of the cause. You can cut cysts out, tumors off, and burn warts off (which are also a potassium deficiency), or get rid of as many moles as you wish, but unless you go to the cause, they will grow back again, and you may end up with as many or more cysts, tumors, moles as before. Different signs of potassium deficiency will keep popping out on the body because the condition that needs correcting is on the inside. You have to go into the cause, Dr. Christopher always insisted, which is the way we have been eating. \n\nHerbal Aids \n1.General Instructions: Rebuild tissue so the body can slough off the tumor accumulation. This is done by toning the body generally with alternatives. \n\n2.Scrofulous Tumor: See formula using plantain leaves, fumitory herb, yellow dock root, white r

can be caused by any number of things if anything on or in brain MRI should find it good luck

The symptoms of brains tumors, can be varied depending on the size and location(frontal, temporal etc) of the tumor. Also many tumors are secondaries, so systemic involvement and hence systemic sysmptoms are not ruled out.\n\nYou will to have describe ur symptoms in detail, and most importantly PLEASE  SEEK A MEDICAL CONSULT  ASAP.\n\nThe probability is that  u might be getting glasses (vision changes) \nother causes include\nMigraine (incl. hypersensitivity to sound and/or light)\nTemporal ateritis ( female patient, pain in temples)\nTension Headache \nHead injury ( haemorrhage)\nSpace Occupyig Lesion ( tumor,. etc)\netc\n\nI hope that helps a little bit

Yes, it's very possible to get results like this. MRI, CT and PET all work very differently and all highlight very different things. A mass can be obvious in one method and be virtually invisible in another. There are also many different types of MRI scans, and they each highlight different anatomic structures.\n\nYou should start by talking to your doctor about what is going on here. Have they reached a diagnosis which might explain the discrepancy, or are they still trying to determine what is going on? You should also talk with your doctor about having all of the scans read again by an experienced radiologist in order to get a second opinion on their interpretation.
