gangliogliom - derealization

[MG (Admin)]

When was the last time you were seen by a neurologist or had an EEG performed?
When was your last MRI of the brain done?

I had it couple of months ago I think.
anyways it was a who grade 2 ganglioglioma, is it benign or malignant?

Primary brain tumours are put into groups according to how fast they are likely to grow. There are grades 1 – 4 with 4 being the most malignant. The cells are examined by a pathologist under a microscope. The more normal they look, the more slowly the brain tumour is likely to develop and the lower the grade. The more abnormal the cells look, the more quickly the brain tumour is likely to grow and the higher the grade. Low grade gliomas (grade 1 and grade 2) are the slowest growing brain tumours.

People are often told you have a benign tumour or a malignant tumour. As a rule of thumb, low grade tumours (1-2) are regarded as benign and high grade as malignant. By benign, we generally mean

* The tumour is relatively slow growing
* It is less likely to come back if it is completely removed
* It is not likely to spread to other parts of the brain or spinal cord
* It may just need surgery and not radiotherapy or chemotherapy as well

What were the EEG results?
Was it a "sleep deprived" EEG?

sorry for being late, I still have derealization.
I don't understand what you mean by sleep deprived EEG, I had it 5 or a similar time in the morning but I slept before that...
the results were good the doctor told me and nothing wrong about it.
any help would be much appreciated.
thank you very much
