My father, aged 60, checked into the hospital in July 2009 for Jacksonian seizures in the left hemibody, and two month evolved left sided pyramidal syndrome.
The native and contrasted MRI showed a right frontal tumor, the outlet without contrast suggesting a low grade astrocytoma. The tumor gets surgically removed (later referred to as a grade 2 fibrillary astrocytoma), and he gets sent home with a hemiparesis to his left hand (he's left-handed). His histopathological analysis turned alright, revealing a fibrillary astrocytoma) During the next eight months he recovers pretty well, when suddenly he has another Jacksonian seizure. He gets checked in for investigations, and the MRI reveals a tumor formation (outlet without contrast). On April 2010 he checks in for a recurred right frontal tumor and Jacksonian seizures in the left hemibody. The tumor gets surgically removed, referred to as a tumor with a low grade astorcytoma aspect. The surgery leaves him with a left hemiparesis about to be in remission and a predominantly expressive mixed aphasia. One day after the surgery, he has another Jacksonian seizure, leaving him with an even worse speech impediment. He checks out, with a permanent carbamazepine recipe. The trouble is now, a week after the surgery, he still has the seizures, and i don't know how that's going to affect him or his aphasia. I don't have his second histopathological analysis yet. My question is, what is your opinion about his condition, and why are the seizures still occurring? How recoverable is he?
