About Brain Lesions

Brain lesions refer to abnormal areas of tissue in the brain identified through diagnostic procedures, not a single treatment. A neurologist manages this condition by first pinpointing the lesion's cause and location using advanced imaging like MRI or CT scans. The approach is highly personalized, ranging from medication management for conditions like multiple sclerosis or infections to surgical referral for tumor removal. The neurologist's role involves comprehensive evaluation, differential diagnosis, and creating a tailored management plan to address symptoms, halt progression, and improve neurological function, ensuring the best possible outcome for the patient's specific type of brain lesion.

Key Highlights

    Enables precise identification of abnormal brain tissue causing neurological symptoms.Guides targeted treatment plans, whether medical (medications) or surgical.Helps in diagnosing underlying conditions like tumors, strokes, MS, or infections.Utilizes non-invasive advanced imaging (MRI, CT) for accurate assessment.Management is overseen by a specialist (neurologist) for comprehensive care.

Who is this surgery for?

  • Unexplained neurological symptoms like persistent headaches, seizures, or vision changes.
  • Weakness, numbness, or difficulty with speech and coordination.
  • Memory loss, confusion, or personality changes.
  • Suspicion of conditions like brain tumors, multiple sclerosis, or stroke.
  • Monitoring known conditions (e.g., MS plaques) for progression or treatment response.

How to prepare

  • Detailed neurological examination and review of medical history.
  • Disclosure of all current medications, allergies, and past surgeries.
  • For imaging (MRI/CT): Removal of metal objects; inform staff of implants or claustrophobia.
  • Fasting may be required if sedation or contrast dye is used.
  • Arrange for transportation home, especially if sedation is administered.

Risks & possible complications

  • Risks vary greatly by procedure: For imaging, minimal risk; for biopsy or surgery, higher.
  • Potential for bleeding, infection, or swelling at the biopsy/surgery site.
  • Neurological deficits such as worsened weakness, speech problems, or seizures.
  • Reaction to anesthesia or contrast dye (allergic reaction or kidney stress).
  • Non-diagnostic biopsy result or need for further procedures.

Recovery & hospital stay

  • Recovery is entirely dependent on the procedure performed and the lesion's cause.
  • For diagnostic imaging only, typically resume normal activities immediately.
  • After a biopsy or surgery: Hospital monitoring for 1-3 days is common.
  • Post-operative care may include medications for pain, swelling, and seizure prevention.
  • Follow-up with the neurologist is crucial to discuss results and long-term management, which may involve medication, therapy (physical, occupational), or further treatment.
  • checked Typical hospital stay: 0-3 days
  • checked Expected recovery time: Varies widely (from same day to several weeks)

PATIENT REVIEW

Had my gallbladder out last week....

Had my gallbladder out last week. The surgery itself was fine, but the first two days after were rough. Dr. Madhumitha was really on top of my pain meds, adjusting them a few times until it was manageable. She checked on me every morning and evening at MGM, which helped a lot. I'm home now and the recovery is going okay, just taking it slow.
