Glioblastoma Multiforme
We first went to hospital when there was a seizure suddenly in midnight on 19th November. After tumor was diagnosed it was assumed to be low grade glioma. After some time it started to put effect on left side of body. Hence craniotomy was performed on 6th February. Before the surgery movements in left side of body was not normal but was sufficiently good. Post craniotomy hemiplagia occurred. And after the biopsy it was who grade 3 and ihc revealed that it was who grade 4. Radiation treatment along with temozolomide was started on 10th march.
Now The queries :
1. Left side leg movements are 2.5/5 but hand movement is 0/5 ? Apart from physiotherapy how we can treat her.
2. The exact reason of Why hemiplagia occurred ?
3. Is there any more advanced and better treatment available in this planet earth so that we can cure her disease ?
4. Why biopsy and ihc reports vary ?

What was the kind of surgery done? Gross total excision?
If the tumor was completely removed then, Unfortunately there is little that can be done to improve her hemiplegia.Likely this has happened as a consequence to surgery but this might not be fault of the treating surgeon.These kinds of complications do occur in neurosurgery
Has any MRI been done after surgery and before initiation of RT plus temozolomide
Many times the report of grade III and IV are not guided by IHC but how the slides have been interpreted by the pathologist
If u need a good opinion..Meet Prof Pramod Kumar Julka in Delhi for further guidance and expert opinion
