SOS: 12-year-old, suffering from brain tumor, needs your help
A 12 year old pupil of a privately owned nursery and primary school in Ilorin, the Kwara State capital has been diagnosed of brain tumor and hydrocephalus which requires surgical operation at the University of Ilorin Teaching Hospital (UITH).
The DEFENDER news gathered that the mother of the patient, Mrs. Rukayat Muhammed, is seeking financial assistance to care for her ailing child.
She disclosed to this medium that “We are able to raise funds for the hydrocephalus but the brain tumor will cost the sum of N2 Million.”
The medical report signed by Drs. Elonye/Olagunju/Owolabi J.I Radiologists from the University of Ilorin Teaching Hospital reads:
“Fairly oval shaped iso to slightly hyperdense mass with irregular margins (HU-43) is seen arising from the vermis of cerebellum, compressing and distorting the 4th ventricle anteriorly. It measures 45 x 44mm in size and shows multiple areas of hypodensities (range HU= 13-15) within it suggestive of cystic changes.
“There are also foci of hyperdensities (HU-85) suggestive of calcification. This lesion shows enhancement on all post contrast series. The sulci-gyri pattern is within normal limits. There is moderate dilatation of both lateral ventricles and 3rd ventricle suggestive of non-communicating hydrocephalus.
“The midline is preserved. Both inferior nasal turbinates are enlargement suggestive of rhinitis. Both orbits, paranasal sinuses, skull vault and base are within normal limits.
CONCLUSION: Posterior fossa mass with non-communicating hydrocephalus Differential: -Medulloblastoma.
