Hello doctor, My sister aged 37 now conceived her third baby (6th month started) , from the month of 3rd she started to have regular fits, sudden body weight loss , sweat on head, she is sleep less, head ache. After consulting doctor they advised as for MRI it shows a modular mass lesion in the left temporal lobe, postero lateral to the sylvian fissure measuring up to 19 x 14 x 14 mm surrounding white matter edema noted in the front temporal region. The lession showing peripheral blooming. She cant eat well. and worried about her life. ALready she have a completely disabled second boy. The scan report says the possibility of brain tuburculoma. So for the treatment not yet started. The doctors adviced to wait for some more month to get the baby by operation and then go for the treatment. My question is she already lost around 10 kgs and looks so weak. We are in confusion what to do now. Whether to go for treatment as the treatment affects the baby?... Kindly help us.
Hi, Thank you for posting your query. If you can upload the MRI brain report, it would be useful to make a decision. However, I feel that we should treat your sister for the brain problem, so that her safety is ensured. Treatment may consist of using anti-TB medications and anti-epileptic medications. Please get back if you require any additional information. Best wishes, Chat Doctor. Ly/
