Six months ago, 79-year-old Mrs. Li, who lives in Hong’an, went to Xinhua Hospital because of memory loss for half a year and unstable walking for one week, and was confirmed to have an intracranial tumor by MRI. The woman is a retired physician of nearly 20 years, usually mild and organized, but half a year ago began to appear to do things lost and forget, often lost items, sometimes do not know to go home after going out, memory loss, and also appear to be impatient, speech increased, round kelp blowing seek refuge frame K save Si Au pancreas home dizzy brain atrophy, there is no examination, directly bought some medicine to eat, but The symptoms have not been relieved. The family sent her to Hubei Xinhua Hospital for a checkup a week ago and realized that it was a tumor in the brain that was to blame. The family decided to operate after repeated discussions, and the operation recovered smoothly and the symptoms disappeared. According to Dr. Liu Hongzhao, director of neurosurgery of Hubei Brain Center of Hubei Province Xinhua Hospital, diffuse cerebral atrophy is dominated by senile dementia, intelligence loss, memory impairment, personality change and behavioral disorders, while cerebellar atrophy can appear as walking instability and tremor. However, intracerebral tumor, especially frontotemporal lobe tumor, can also show mental symptoms of memory impairment and personality change. Patients may also suffer from balance disorders, unstable walking, and often tilting to the opposite side of the lesion. Since brain atrophy is a common disease in the elderly and tumors are not common, it is easy to misdiagnose brain atrophy in elderly patients with tumor manifestations, but a CT or MRI of the skull can clarify it. Therefore, Prof. Liu Hongzhao suggested that elderly patients with memory loss should have head CT or MRI examination in time for early diagnosis and early treatment, and elderly patients with tumors should not be afraid of surgery as long as the function of important organs is normal.
