    I'm glad for this video. It explains more than lots of multiple site research. 1 website said that a GG happens to children and young adults, up to 21. (Which I liked a better precision of age than saying "young adult.")
    But I gave a more open allowance of say "25" and this vid agrees no more than 30. Just I have GG I'm almost 40. So just wondered if I should focus more on Adult "grade 2" over Juvenile "grade 1" Tumour research. And I should.
    Plus it'll make sense why most paper work says "low grade" not "juvenile"
    Thank you ☺️

      Yes, there are a lot of different low grade gliomas. Most have a predilection for young patients, but not always. You can see pilocytic astrocytomas well into adulthood. Better to think about them as well-circumscribed low grade gliomas regardless of age. Thanks for watching!

    Getting an investigation done via CT, personally I think its a liver problem causing symptoms but worth ruling out things. The development of various imaging technologies is just incredible, MRI probably being my favourite.

      MRI has truly revolutionized medical care, particularly in the brain, where it was previously just a game of interpreting small clues based on symptoms.

    What are some options for seizure control when the DNET is deemed inoperable and she has failed more than 3 meds for seizure control.

    • @LearnNeuroradiology
      @LearnNeuroradiology  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      This is going to depend on the individual patient, but if medications are not working there are other options for tumor/seizure control such as laser ablation, responsive neurostimulators, vagus stimulator, deep brain stimulation, and others. It really requires thorough evaluation by a solid team of neurologists and neurosurgeons to work out what the best options may be.

    • @LearnNeuroradiology
      @LearnNeuroradiology  3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      You don't have to wait at all. Mostly it depends on how severe the symptoms are and how aggressive the tumor looks.

    • @LearnNeuroradiology
      @LearnNeuroradiology  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I'm sorry your son has a tumor, and I'm sure that is very frightening.
      It really depends on a number of things, including the size of the tumor, location of the tumor, how it is treated (surgery, radiation, chemotherapy, or a combination), and many other factors. You probably need to sit down with your son's doctor and have a realistic discussion about your questions. They should be able to help answer them.

    It was just found through a MRI of my brain, that I have a brain tumor,..was told most likely benign. How urgent is it to see a neurosurgeon and what timely manner to be seen? I need to know ASAP, because it seems that there’s no concern as to how soon I need to see a neurosurgeon. I’ve already lost some eyesight in left eye. I have uncontrolled blood pressure,. Vomiting, headaches, and I had an incident of my right leg going totally numb!

      @LearnNeuroradiology  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I'm sorry to hear. I think you need to talk to your doctors about when to see a neurosurgeon. It also seems like you have other issues to deal with urgently too, like the blood pressure. I'd talk to your doctor ASAP.

    What does the DIPG tumor look like?

    • @LearnNeuroradiology
      @LearnNeuroradiology  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      DIPG, or all the midline pontine gliomas, tend to occur in younger patients and are expansile, FLAIR hyperintense masses mostly in the brainstem. They may enhance less than GBMs and look more like grade 3 gliomas with patchy enhancement. However, they have very poor outcomes.
      Maybe we can try to cover in another video.

    Great Video. what is the difference between a collection of abnormal tissue and a tumor?

    • @LearnNeuroradiology
      @LearnNeuroradiology  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      This is a great question. Essentially nothing. A tumor IS an abnormal collection of tissue that often displaces the surrounding tissue. While most people associate the word tumor with aggressive cancers, tumors can be benign (not growing that fast) or malignant (rapidly dividing or increasing in size, likely to spread).
      There is a pretty good definition on the NIH web site here:
      www.cancer.gov/publications/dictionaries/cancer-terms/def/tumor

They were able to see the cells on an MRI he had when he was 13 due to headaches and see it is very slow-growing. It's been a terrifying time for us and I am trying to learn as much about this as I can. Your video was excellent. Thanks so much! Grateful for your response.

      I'll do my best to improve the audio. I did change microphones at some point recently, so hopefully that improved things. Do you have similar problems with all the videos or is it better on newer videos, like:

I'm also diagnosed with hypochondria so I'm sure I have some illness. Now I've been scared about brain tumor for the past 4 months. Back in February I got a massive headache and it really worried me. Since then I didn't get much headaches but I have this weird discomfort in the back of my head on the left side. It doesn't really hurt or it hurts really weak. I check my balance, my vision, my reflexes and other neurological things every day. I scheduled an MRI just to be sure I don't have a brain tumor. It's this Monday. I'm really stressed I have a glioblastoma or some other serious tumor. I just hope my results are normal. Hope you're doing well.

    Survival rate and recurrance of pxa tumors???

      @LearnNeuroradiology  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      For brain tumors, quite good. Numbers vary, but 5 year survival of 75-80% and progression free survival of probably 60-70% (meaning the 5 year recurrence rate is 30-40%).
      The following references provide more details:

Golf ball and a half in my right front lobe. Total resection on June 19th and another craniotomy exactly 3 weeks later to install a catheder to relieve some fluid build up.

      I'm sorry to hear that you have a tumor. It can sometimes be hard to to grade the bad features of the tumor so it can take extra time. Sometimes they may not be able to tell at all because they are pretty rare tumors.
      Best of luck with your treatment and follow-up and thanks for checking out the video!
