Recurrent Diffuse Astrocytoma in a Young Male with Right Hemiparesis: A Case Report

  • Unique Paper ID: 182841
  • PageNo: 3573-3574
  • Abstract:
  • Astrocytomas are a group of primary brain tumors originating from astrocytes and commonly affecting young adults. This case report presents a 32-year-old male with recurrent left frontoparietal and right-sided diffuse Grade II astrocytoma. The patient experienced progressive neurological symptoms including altered sensorium, right-sided weakness, incontinence, and inability to walk or speak. He had undergone two previous gross total excisions (GTEs) in 2020 and 2023. Imaging in 2025 confirmed recurrence, and a third GTE was performed. Multidisciplinary management including surgery, medication, ventilator support, and physiotherapy was provided. This case emphasizes the importance of early imaging, surgical intervention, and neuro-rehabilitation in recurrent gliomas.
