The surgeons at the Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi, a 34-year-old resident of the Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi, have managed to put an end to his 10-year health problem, which has been plagued by headaches and sporadic fits of disease.
In detail, Muhannad was suffering from headaches, chills, dizziness, blurred vision, weakness in his arms, loss of speech ability in his mid-20s, and attempted to obtain treatment, but to no avail, his condition worsened over the years, Diagnosis of the condition.
Ten years later, Muhannad decided to book a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The results showed a brain-sized ball-shaped brain tumor on the left side of the skull pressing the brain. He went to the Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi, where doctors decided to remove the tumor.
The eradication took eight hours, and was very complex because of the location of the tumor at the base of the skull and pressure on the brain, and the existence of a network of blood vessels in it. Therefore, doctors used a sophisticated technique called "neuro-navigation", which scans a detailed three-dimensional brain to help guide the surgical operation, and ensure the possibility of removal of the tumor without harming any of the surrounding healthy tissue. The patient underwent surgery and then recovered and returned to his family and professional life.
"The tumor in brain (Muhannad) was one of the biggest tumors I have seen in patients here in Abu Dhabi. It has grown over a long period of time, which has made it possible to form its own vessel network," said Dr. Sami Al Hammadi, neurosurgery specialist at Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi. The occurrence of a large bulge led to the brain pushing for more than a centimeter from the center. The tumor had to be removed, otherwise it would continue to grow and worsen the symptoms. "
