Patient Information

Mrs. M.C. female, 50 years, came to us on 19th July, 1994 and presented with Giddiness; diminished hearing in the right side; slurring of speech; fear of falling down; unbalanced gait; progressive weakness of the left side and forgetfulness. Her trouble of trembling of whole body had started the last 4 months.

C.T. Scan of Brain (plain and contrast study) done on 14th July, 1994 showed "…a fairly large infiltrating type ill-defined enhancing soft tissue mass lesion from the apex of the right petrous bone with erosion of the apex of the petrous and adjacent base of skull and with intracranial extension in posterior fossa and right temporal area as well as extension in right temporal fossa associated with moderate degree of obstructive hydrocephalus Gliomas"

After undergoing treatment from us with the medicines Ruta 6c two doses a day, Calcarea Phosphorica 3X two doses a day, all her clinical symptoms had improved within 6 months. Now the patient is living her normal, trouble free daily life without any medication.

We then reduced the doses and stopped our treatment after one year.
After 9 years without any medicines follow up C.T.Scan of Brain (plain and contrast study) done on 6th August, 2005 shows "…A locally invasive soft tissue mass seen in relation to right petrous temporal bone which shows no significant change in comparison to last scan at 1st December, 1995."

After 12 years without any medication again Follow up C.T. Scan of Brain (plain and contrast study) done on 18th April 2008 Impression – CT findings in a follow-up case of right CT angle and temporal region irregular enhancing mass now showing almost identical position and size as compared to previous CT Scan done on 6th August 2005.

C.T. Scan of Brain done on the 31st of December 2008 showed "a well defined brightly enhancing sol in right occipital lobe involving corpus callosum till midline with maximum focal edema. and midline shift Astrocytoma/ Glioblastoma."
Stereotactic biopsy done on the 2nd of January 2009 “… grade IV Astrocytoma/GBM.

After undergoing treatment from us with the medicines Ruta 6c two doses a day, Calcarea Phosphorica 3X two doses a day, his all clinical symptoms were gone within 3-4 months.
Follow up C.T. Scan of Brain (Plain & Contrast Study) done on 2nd of September 2009 showed “…As compared to previous ct study done on 31.12.08 reveals significant resolution of the lesion with very minimal residue in right posterior parietal region and splenium of corpus callosum , there is no shift of midline structures”

Now the patient is leading a trouble free, normal life but is continuing his medication.

Patient Information

  • Name:PD (a.k.a TM)
  • Age:23 years (22.02.2007)

  • Date of first visit: 22.02.2007
  • Chief complaints: Headache off and on, occasional nausea with vomiting and convulsions since the last 7-8 months.
  • Past History, if any: Nil



Initial Observations:

EEG Report dated 24.06.2006, “…Generalised cerebral dysrhythmias – inter seizure pattern…”

CT scan Brain dated 11.07.2006, “…FINDINGS: Posterior fossa structures do not reveal any significant abnormality. Basal subarachnoid cisterns, sylvian fissures and cortical sulci are normal. Third and both lateral ventricles are normal with septum in the midline.

A well defined hypodense SOL (23 X 24 X 24 mm.) with calcified margin but no appreciable peripheral edema is visible in the medial aspect of the temporal lobe (left).

IMPRESSION: Parasellar (left) SOL - ?dermoid - ?? low grade glioma…”

MRI of brain dated 25.08.2006 showed, “…MRI of brain reveals a well defined cystic lesion measuring 21.89 Tr. X 18.56 AP x 17.30 S.I. at left medial temporal lobe adjoining choroids fissure displacing the fissure superiorly. There is mild perilesional oedema & mass effect in the form of effacement of adjoining perimesencephalic cistern & compression of left cerebral peduncle. On GRE, there are few hypointense foci favouring calcification / bleed. On contrast study, there is bright peripheral enhancement.

Impression: Contrast M.R.I of brain reveals a peripherally enhanching lesion at left medial temporal lobe with mass effect.

The possibilities are

i) Ganglioglioma / Gangliocytoma;

ii) PNET

iii) Abscess. …”

Stereotactic biopsy (Slide No. 5140/04) report – “ASTROCYTOMA GR-II OF IV”.

Observations during treatment:

CT scan dated 24.11.2007, “…IMPRESSION : Review study shows the left parasellar lesion has regressed in size (23mm x 24mm x 24mm on 11.07.2006 as against 18mm x 14mm x 24mm today)...”

Complication during treatment if any :Nil

Summary:

A young lady aged about 23 years came to us on 22.02.2007 suffering from headache, nausea, vomiting and convulsions since the last 7–8 months. Her initial observation CT scan Brain on 11.07.2006, “…showed a well defined hypodense parasellar (left) SOL (23x24x24mm.) ?Low Grade Glioma…..”

MRI of Brain done on 25.08.2006 – “……Contrast MRI of brain revealed a peripherally enhanching lesion at left medial temporal lobe with mass effect measuring 21.89 x 18.56 x 17.30mm.? Ganglioglioma….”

Stereotactic biopsy report – “ASTROCYTOMA GR-II OF IV”.

During our treatment her follow up observation like CT scan brain on 24.11.2007 “…..Review study shows the left parasellar lesion has regressed in size (23 x 24 x 24mm on 11.07.2006 as against 18 x 14 x 24mm)….”

Within 9–10 months of our homeopathic treatment there is marked improvement in her health and symptoms enabling her to lead a normal life.

Initial observations:

MRI of Brain done on 08.09.2003-

Impression: "Well defined circumscribed lesion measuring 2cms. X 2.7cms. x 1.2cms. in left basal ganglia and thalamus with patchy enhancement and mild mass effect over frontal horn of left lateral ventricle and midbrain and mild perilesional edema.
Probability of demyelinating disease (tumefying mass) to be considered.
However possibility of pliocytic astrocytoma can not be excluded."

MRI of Brain done on 10.11.2003…

Suggestive of – " A heterogenous lesion seen involving left putaminal region, adjacent thalamus, capsular and caudate with slightly mass effect most likely Glioma Nature."

Stereotactic biopsy done on 29.01.2004..

"Low grade astrocytoma, highly suggestive of a Pliocytic astrocytoma WHO grade I; left thalamic region."

Observations during treatment

Follow up C.T. Scan of Brain (Plain & Contrast Study) done on dated 11.08.2005 shows -" Non enhancing calcified mixed density mass at left basal ganglia with mild mass effect without any perilesional oedema."

Complication during treatment if any : None.

Follow up C.T. Scan of Brain (Plain & Contrast Study) done on dated 11.08.2005

shows- " Non enhancing calcified mixed density mass at left basal ganglia with mild mass effect without any perilesional oedema."
