Case : Nervous System Case Report

You are working with Gary Smith, MD, a neurosurgeon at BSC Medical Center. Your patient is Ms. Kelly Long, a 40-year-old female, who was originally treated for epileptic seizures at 10 years of age. When it was later determined that the source of the seizures was most likely a brain mass, Dr. Smith performed a surgical resection of a frontal lobe glioma that measured 20 mm in diameter. Ms. Long had been doing well up until 1 month ago, until she recently developed cephalalgia that is steady throughout the day. After examination by Dr. Smith, Kelly is referred to a neurologist with the recommendation of performing an EEG. She is to follow up with Dr. Smith after the neurology consultation.
