A case of brain glioma progression: surgical resection and post-operation nursing care

Here, we reported the first case of brain glioma in the history of our hospital. The male patient was 62-year-old, suffering from headache and disability of his right limbs for about 3 months. Head CT & magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan showed massive lesion located at left frontal lobe and basal ganglia area with obvious enhancement in contrast MRI (high grade glioma was highly suspected). Left frontal craniotomy was performed to remove the tumor after patient consent. Finally, the left frontal tumor was totally resected. The patient recovered well after carefully post-operation nursing case. Histological findings revealed anaplastic astrocytoma with GFAP (+), IDH-1 (+), and P53 (+).
