i live in canada. my wife and son are vietnamese living in vn. son is almost 4 yrs. he went into coma at 5 mos. tumour was diagnosed. the implanted drain tube brain to stomach to relieve pressure. they said drain shunt will be good for 8 years?? it must be elastic for growth???? brain development was much delayed but now is up to 80% for age, and developping fast.vn hospitals have 1.5 patients per bed, pediatric can have 3 per bed.
doctors said cyperknife surgery is required so advised to return when vn has a cyberknife.at 3 years old, doc said mrI too dangerous, because gen anethetic required. now they have cyberknife but say safer to wait few more years for surgery. his exam consists only of checking eyes and body coordination.in vn and other asian culture it is EXTREMELY shameful to have family with brain disease, seizures, dementia, etc. it is considered result of something terribly bad that family or ancestor has done. doctors do not speak freely but all know it is best for that person to die than destroy whole family generations with shame. i can not get a straight answer or prognosis, treatment, stastistics etc.
i am attempting to move everyone to canada but this process of immigration may take 1 year.doctors in canada will not comment unless they see patient for liability reasons.i tried a private mr in vn but they do not do anethetic needs etc. vn hospitals place priority on immediate life threatening needs first. i can only read thousands of pages on internet. seems the cyberknife type surgery is reccommended immediately in most cases.
i do not know what to expect, i have to do something. we have no insurance for other countries. canada is basically free but he does not have residence status. i need some answers? will the wait cause death?? is there anything to watch for??? should surgery be done asap???
thank you

The patient is a 28 years old. He has been suffering from real bad migranes for some time now, but lately it has been getting worse. He has been passing out, and just yesterday he had to be taken to a hospital. He is beeing released from the hospital but the doctors say that he has to have surgery soon. In Angola we donīt have good hospitals for this kind of problem. I need to know where we can find treatment for him. We donīt have the money but were are going to do whatever we can to get him better. Please tell me where he can be treated, how much will it cost? what exactly does he have? Other than this problem he is a very healthy, strong, young man. Please help!

I am looking for an experienced neurosurgeon who is willing to look at two MRI's I had done and they show a pineal gland cyst of 10.08mm. I have severe migraines, vision disturbances and other symptoms. I need a second opinion. Does anyone have any information regarding a neurosurgeon who is willing to look at the MRI's (I have insurance and money to cover the cost and am willing to travel) THANKS, KIM

A patient had a craniotomy due to a subdural hemotoma. She now has the occasional seizure as a result of the scar tissue. Is there anything that can be done to help her? Is siphoning out the scar tissue an option?

Hello,
Isn't this Dr. Mangiardi's website? Why is his name not mentioned anywhere on this site? He is an outstanding surgeon with excellent skills.
