Question
Hi, doctor,
My uncle has been suffering from headaches for as long as I can remember, and they have started to get worse.
He already suffers from epiloliesy.
He was taken to a hospital about the headaches, and they told us that he has a bone in his brain, and that he was born with it. They said that the bone is on the part of the brain that controls your anger. I have been told, that it is not life threatening, but it is still worrying, as I have never heard of it. Please could you help me to understand the problem more? Thank you


Answer
Well I have not heard of this either. But this is not really a tumor question and I'm strictly a tumor (cancer) dr. (medical oncologist & radiation therapist with experience of treating brain tumors) and NOT a neurosurgeon or a neurologist. So I strongly suggest that you direct this question to any of these 2 kinds of experts. Good luck!
