Perihan Toprak, who lives in Ankara, applied to the hospital 2 months ago with a complaint of pain in her right eye.
Toprak, who started medication treatment, went to 3 different hospitals for treatment when his illness did not go away, but he could not be diagnosed.
Finally, a tumor was found in the brain of Toprak, who was examined at Etlik City Hospital, around the optic nerves.
Toprak regained his health after the tumor was removed through the operation.
“Thank God he wasn’t bad-tempered”
Toprak stated that he feels very good right now and said, “There was no problem with my surgery. I have a slight edema in my eye. My doctors said that it will go away in a short time. There is no problem for now.
We always thought it was an ‘eye problem’. We always thought that this could be an eye problem; but the tumor came out. Thank God he wasn’t bad-tempered. “If we had been 3 months later, the tumor would have covered the entire risky area and my eye would have been removed.”He spoke to.
“We removed the entire tumor”
Neurosurgeon Specialist Dr. Hakan Yakupoğlu stated that the patient applied to them about 2 weeks ago, “His complaint was loss of vision in the right eye. Various tests were performed on him regarding vision loss; however, during the examination, we found a tumor around the optic nerve. We removed the entire tumor. Our patient’s vision was almost completely restored. Brain tumors can give different findings depending on the location of the tumor.
For example, if the patient is in the movement center, the patient may have problems walking, and if the patient is in the speech center, there may be problems in speaking. We may encounter a problem with the visual pathways, even if it is a tumor around the optic nerves or in the visual pathways.
We can obtain different findings such as decreased vision and blurred vision. In fact, the most typical case of our patient here is that his vision loss was examined by ophthalmologists and it was thought that his vision loss was related to this.
Over time, when examinations were performed, it became clear that the incident was caused by the brain. Those who have such complaints; “It would be beneficial for patients with similar findings such as vision loss, unsteadiness in walking, and speech disorders to consult a neurosurgery or neurology department.” said.
