What Are The Chances Of Normal Living After A Brain Tumour Surgery?
My aunts brain surgery was on Wednesday. It was a timor removale, they found many smaller branches of the timor. Since the surgery, she has not been able to move her right leg, what is the chance she will never walk again? The timor was on the top of her head.

Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
I have noted your aunt's symptoms. I noted that she had brain tumor surgery and after that she has developed right leg weakness.
The weakness of right leg could be due to the tumor or due to brain injury or bleeding during the surgery.
A brain CT scan would help us determine the real cause of her right leg weakness.
She would gradually improve with physiotherapy and exercises.
I hope my answer helps. Please get back if you have any follow up queries or if you require any additional information.
Wishing you good health,
