Brain Tumor Case study 1

This 60 years old gentleman came to us on the 8th of January 2009 and presented with headache, cervical pain, insomnia since 2 months.

C.T. Scan of Brain done on the 31st of December 2008 showed "a well defined brightly enhancing sol in right occipital lobe involving corpus callosum till midline with maximum focal edema. and midline shift Astrocytoma/ Glioblastoma."

Stereotactic biopsy done on the 2nd of January 2009 “… grade IV Astrocytoma/GBM.

After undergoing treatment from us with the medicines Ruta 6c two doses a day, Calcarea Phosphorica 3X two doses a day, his all clinical symptoms were gone within 3-4 months.

Now the patient is leading a trouble free, normal life but is continuing his medication.

Brain Tumor Casestudy 2

Initial Observations: :EEG Report dated 24.06.2006, “…Generalised cerebral dysrhythmias – inter seizure pattern…”

CT scan Brain dated 11.07.2006, “…FINDINGS: Posterior fossa structures do not reveal any significant abnormality. Basal subarachnoid cisterns, sylvian fissures and cortical sulci are normal. Third and both lateral ventricles are normal with septum in the midline.

A well defined hypodense SOL (23 X 24 X 24 mm.) with calcified margin but no appreciable peripheral edema is visible in the medial aspect of the temporal lobe (left).

IMPRESSION: Parasellar (left) SOL - ?dermoid - ?? low grade glioma…”

MRI of brain dated 25.08.2006 showed, “…MRI of brain reveals a well defined cystic lesion measuring 21.89 Tr. X 18.56 AP x 17.30 S.I. at left medial temporal lobe adjoining choroids fissure displacing the fissure superiorly. There is mild perilesional oedema & mass effect in the form of effacement of adjoining perimesencephalic cistern & compression of left cerebral peduncle. On GRE, there are few hypointense foci favouring calcification / bleed. On contrast study, there is bright peripheral enhancement.

Impression: Contrast M.R.I of brain reveals a peripherally enhanching lesion at left medial temporal lobe with mass effect.

The possibilities are

• i) Ganglioglioma / Gangliocytoma;
• ii) PNET
• iii) Abscess. …”

Stereotactic biopsy (Slide No. 5140/04) report – “ASTROCYTOMA GR-II OF IV”.

Observations during treatment: CT scan dated 24.11.2007, “…IMPRESSION : Review study shows the left parasellar lesion has regressed in size (23mm x 24mm x 24mm on 11.07.2006 as against 18mm x 14mm x 24mm today)...”

Complication during treatment if any : Nil

Summary: A young lady aged about 23 years came to us on 22.02.2007 suffering from headache, nausea, vomiting and convulsions since the last 7–8 months. Her initial observation CT scan Brain on 11.07.2006, “…showed a well defined hypodense parasellar (left) SOL (23x24x24mm.) ?Low Grade Glioma…..”

MRI of Brain done on 25.08.2006 – “……Contrast MRI of brain revealed a peripherally enhanching lesion at left medial temporal lobe with mass effect measuring 21.89 x 18.56 x 17.30mm.? Ganglioglioma….”

Stereotactic biopsy report – “ASTROCYTOMA GR-II OF IV”.

During our treatment her follow up observation like CT scan brain on 24.11.2007 “…..Review study shows the left parasellar lesion has regressed in size (23 x 24 x 24mm on 11.07.2006 as against 18 x 14 x 24mm)….”

Within 9–10 months of our homeopathic treatment there is marked improvement in her health and symptoms enabling her to lead a normal life.

Brain Tumor Case study 3

MRI of Brain done on 08.09.2003-

Impression: "Well defined circumscribed lesion measuring 2cms. X 2.7cms. x 1.2cms. in left basal ganglia and thalamus with patchy enhancement and mild mass effect over frontal horn of left lateral ventricle and midbrain and mild perilesional edema. Probability of demyelinating disease (tumefying mass) to be considered. However possibility of pliocytic astrocytoma can not be excluded."

MRI of Brain done on 10.11.2003…

Suggestive of – " A heterogenous lesion seen involving left putaminal region, adjacent thalamus, capsular and caudate with slightly mass effect most likely Glioma Nature."

Stereotactic biopsy done on 29.01.2004..

"Low grade astrocytoma, highly suggestive of a Pliocytic astrocytoma WHO grade I; left thalamic region."

Observations during treatment

Follow up C.T. Scan of Brain (Plain & Contrast Study) done on dated 11.08.2005 shows -" Non enhancing calcified mixed density mass at left basal ganglia with mild mass effect without any perilesional oedema."

Complication during treatment if any : None.

Follow up C.T. Scan of Brain (Plain & Contrast Study) done on dated 11.08.2005

shows- " Non enhancing calcified mixed density mass at left basal ganglia with mild mass effect without any perilesional oedema."

Now the lively lad is leading trouble free normal daily life.
