My brother has a minute 243617 mm brain tumor and the doctors recommended surgery. We're really worried about the risks can you explain what kind of surgery it might be and how it's done? Also, which hospitals in North India are the best for this operation? We don't know much about the process and could use some guidance.

View allMy dad is 60 and his MRI showed a small T2 FLAIR hyperintense lesion near the right CP angle, around the 8th nerve and root exit zone of the right 5th nerve. The report says it's likely a trigeminal schwannoma. How serious is this? Would he need surgery or radiation treatment?
A trigeminal schwannoma, confirmed by MRI showing a T2 FLAIR hyperintense lesion in the CP angle, is generally considered a benign tumor that can often be managed with surgery. The tumor's size and location near the 8th and 5th cranial nerves require careful consideration, but surgical removal is often the primary treatment. Radiation therapy may also be an option in some cases, particularly for larger or unresectable tumors

I've been diagnosed with a 2cm vestibular schwannoma on my left side and have moderate sensorineural hearing loss. Right now, hearing loss is my only symptom. Some people recommend radiotherapy like gamma knife or cyber knife because of fewer complications, while others suggest microsurgery. I'm only 28 and want the best treatment that won't affect my quality of life what would you advise?
At 2 cm, radiosurgery (Gamma Knife) offers fewer risks than open surgery—discuss pros/cons with neuro-ENT team.
