Lemon-sized tumour in brain successfully removed at KIMS Saveera Anantapur

Anantapur: A 58-year-old woman suffering from a massive brain tumour, nearly the size of a lemon (over 5 cm), has found relief after a complex 5-hour surgery performed by doctors at KIMS Saveera Hospital, Anantapur.

Due to the tumour, she had been experiencing severe headaches, dizziness and difficulty walking for the past year. After a successful surgery, she is now completely relieved of her symptoms.

Tumour diagnosed among critical blood vessels

KIMS Savera’s consultant neurosurgeons, Dr Anil and Dr Murali, shared details of the case: “Adinarayanamma, a 58-year-old woman from Pulivendula in YSR Kadapa district, was diagnosed with a 5 cm tumour in the frontal region of her brain. She had been suffering from persistent headaches, dizziness and difficulty walking for almost a year. After a detailed MRI scan, we identified the tumour as tentorial meningioma, which was in a highly complex and deep region of the brain. Removing such tumours is extremely challenging due to their location among critical blood vessels.”

With the availability of advanced neuro ICU facilities and state-of-the-art neurosurgery equipment at KIMS Saveera, the team took up the challenge.

“We performed a high-risk, complex brain surgery that lasted for about five hours. Successfully removing such a deep-seated tumour is a rare achievement. Post-surgery, the patient has completely recovered—her headaches are gone, she can walk normally and she has resumed her daily activities. Previously, she was unable to perform even routine household tasks for a year due to her condition. This is the first time in Anantapur district that such a large tumour, located in a highly delicate area of the brain, has been successfully removed,” said Dr Anil and Dr Murali.

With a dedicated neuro-intensive care unit, highly trained staff and round-the-clock availability of advanced medical care, KIMS Saveera is equipped to handle complex neurosurgical cases efficiently.

“We provide world-class treatments for brain and spinal conditions, ensuring the highest level of care. Emergency services present 24*7 with qualified consultants are available at KIMS Saveera Hospital,” the doctors added.
