Brain Tumors — Evaluation and Surgical Planning
Specialist evaluation of suspected or confirmed brain tumors — including the imaging review, surgical decision-making, and follow-up planning.
Brain tumors range from slow-growing, benign lesions that may only need monitoring to aggressive tumors requiring urgent surgery. The right plan depends on the imaging pattern, the patient’s symptoms, age, and overall health.
Dr. Zuhair Abu Salma evaluates brain tumors with a careful review of imaging, a structured discussion of options (observation, surgery, referral for radiation/oncology), and — when surgery is needed — detailed planning for the safest, least-invasive approach.
Common symptoms
- New or progressively worsening headaches, especially in the morning
- Nausea or vomiting without a clear cause
- New seizures, vision changes, or weakness on one side
- Personality, memory, or speech changes noticed by family
When to see a doctor
- A new seizure at any age
- Headaches that are worsening over weeks, are worst in the morning, or wake the patient from sleep
- New neurological symptoms (weakness, vision change, speech change, confusion)
- A brain tumor identified on imaging that needs a neurosurgical opinion
What to expect at your visit
- A clear, unhurried review of the imaging and what it shows
- A structured discussion of the options — observation, surgery, or onward referral
- Realistic timelines and expectations if surgery is recommended
- Coordination with oncology and radiation teams when needed
