Misdiagnosed Brain Tumor Settlement
It was only after our client began suffering visual disturbances and went to another doctor, an ophthalmologist,that she received the correct — and sobering — diagnosis: An MRI revealed a baseball-size tumor, called a hemangioma, growing outside her brain. While not a malignant lesion, it was large enough to compress other parts of the brain and do damage. Neurosurgery followed, but so did a post-surgical infection and sensory losses. Two follow-up operations were necessary. Even today, two decades after those first headaches, our client suffers pain and discomfort.
