Early Symptoms of Brain Tumor and MRI Diagnosis
A 55-year-old patient from Indramayu experienced significant health changes before being diagnosed with a large brain tumor.
At first, the patient often suffered from memory problems, fatigue, excessive sleep, and behavioral changes such as becoming more withdrawn and irritable. Over the following months, the condition worsened with blurry vision in the left eye.
An MRI examination revealed an 8 cm brain tumor pressing on brain tissue, posing serious risks such as permanent neurological damage, disability, or even death.

The surgery was led by Dr. Mardjono Tjahjadi, Sp.BS, Subsp. N-Vas, F. N-Onk, PhD, FICS, IFAANS (Dr. Joy), a neurosurgeon specializing in brain vascular surgery and neuro-oncology.
