Patient's question:
CT and MRI showed a space-occupying lesion in the left temporal lobe. Post-surgery, CT and MRI showed normal results.Treatment history: On August 30, 2012, an craniotomy was performed to remove the lesion. The lesion was completely resected, and 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. Since the child is too young to communicate, it's best to consult with the pediatric neurosurgery department at TianTan Hospital for a follow-up visit. They are familiar with the child's medical history and can make a more accurate comparison. There are some brain-stimulating medications that can be taken, but others might worsen epilepsy. It's still best to consult with the neurosurgeon during the follow-up visit.
