Brain Tumors - suto tumor


Expert: Claes-Gustaf Nordquist, M.D. - 6/25/2009

Question
QUESTION: what is this and how is it treated?

ANSWER: There must be some mistake with the name. Please give me all information you can of what you mean so that I can find out/understand.


---------- FOLLOW-UP ----------

QUESTION:
to follow-up: this is a collection of cfs around my brain. the symptoms minic those of a brain tumor or stroke. The csf pressure is high and I have headaches.
I suppose it is a type of hydrocephlus. I guess.
It also my be called faux tumor

Answer
That is not a true brain tumor. It is indeed a kind of hydrocephalus. So it is outside my field of expertise here. This is something you must discuss with a neurosurgeon which I'm not. I'm a medical oncologist & radiation therapist with experience of treating brain tumors.
