Mumbai (Maharashtra) (India), July 15 : Dr L H Hiranandini Hospital is proud to announce the successful treatment of a rare epilepsy case with the advanced team of neurosurgeons which highlighted the hospital’s commitment to excellent medical care and innovative treatments.
After an epidermoid tumor was found underneath a 45-year-old dessert chef’s brain through Magnetic resonance imaging who had recurrent seizures sought assistance from Dr. L H Hiranandani Hospital. The tumor had enveloped important nerves that help in vision and eye movement causing serious impairment of her sight and increasing the number of seizures.
Epidermoid tumors are non- cancerous, usually slow-growing masses occurring as a result of errors in cell migration during embryonic stage of development. These tumours contain a thick yellow substance called keratin and may compress neighboring areas of the brain leading to severe neurological symptoms.
