Patient's question:
CT and MRI show a space-occupying lesion in the left temporal lobe. Post-surgery, CT and MRI show normal results.Treatment history: On August 30, 2012, an craniotomy was performed to remove the lesion, which was completely resected. The pathology result was ganglioglioma. Currently, the patient is taking Depakine oral solution, 4 mL daily (2 mL in the morning and 2 mL in the evening).
Doctor's answer:
Staring blankly might be a form of seizure, head banging could indicate discomfort in the head, and very young children may not be able to express it. It is recommended to follow up at the pediatric neurosurgery department of TianTan Hospital, as they are familiar with the child's previous condition and can make better comparisons. Some brain-stimulating medications can be taken, but others may worsen epilepsy. It is best to consult with the neurosurgery doctor during the follow-up visit.Children have weaker immune systems, making them more prone to pediatric neurosurgery-related issues. For parents, it is important not to panic and should promptly take their children to a regular hospital for examination and treatment. Additionally, routine check-ups should be conducted for the child, and medication should be administered under the guidance of a doctor.
