Bengaluru (Karnataka) [India], February 25: A 34-year, gentleman named Mr. Adan (name changed), hailing from Ghana, South Africa adhering to Jehovah’s beliefs, presented with symptoms of left-sided weakness persisting for a year and headaches worsening over the pasts eight months ago. The weakness affected his left upper and lower limbs progressively, leading to difficulty grasping objects with his left hand and walking difficulty. He had a seizure episode two months ago which worsened his headache and neurological deficits.

Mr. Adan was subsequently admitted to Sakra World Hospital in Bengaluru, where Dr. Arjun Srivatsa, Director & HOD – Institute of Neurosciences, Dr. Shylesh M P, Associate Consultant – Neurosurgery and their team, conducted a thorough examination followed by a panel of imaging and blood tests. The MRI Brain Contrast revealed a large 10x 9 cm tumour abutting the right side of the brain.

Dr. Arjun, Director & HOD – Institute of Neurosciences , Sakra World Hospital, explained,

The patient improved and was weaned off the ventilator, though he had generalized weakness, dizziness and was severely pale because of low hemoglobin levels. We started him on Human recombinant Erythropoietin which is a medicine used to boost up the hemoglobin levels. Patient began to show signs of improvement, started eating normally, and was initiated on  neurorehabilitation and physiotherapy. At the time of discharge patient was back on his feet, with no neurological deficits, feeding well and returned back to his country with a smile on his face”

Dr. Arjun stressed,

“After surgery,” said Mr. Adan, “I felt relieved as my headaches decreased and I regained strength and  mobility. I’m grateful for the successful outcome and the team’s understanding of my decision to avoid a blood transfusion.”
