- Gradual loss of sensation or movement in an arm or a leg
- Difficulty with balance or speech
Diagnosis & Evaluation
Before recommending surgery, doctors typically perform the following tests:
- Neurological exam to test vision, hearing, balance, and coordination
- MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) to create detailed images of the brain
- CT (Computerized Tomography) scan as an alternative imaging method
- Biopsy to collect and test a sample of abnormal tissue

Types of Brain Tumor Surgery
How is the procedure performed?
- 1

- 2
A craniotomy is performed to access the brain.
- 3
The tumor is carefully removed using microsurgical techniques.
- 4
The bone flap is replaced and secured.
- 5
The scalp is sutured closed.
Preparation & Pre-Op
- Detailed functional MRI to map critical brain areas before surgery
- Cessation of certain medications or supplements that increase bleeding risk
- Pre-operative consultation with anesthesiologist and neurosurgeon
Recovery & Post-Op Care
- Observation in the neuro-intensive care unit (ICU)
- Monitoring for signs of swelling or neurological changes
- Physical, occupational, or speech therapy if brain function was affected
- Follow-up imaging to ensure complete tumor removal
