Tumor and fatigue Posted: 12-11-06 00:36am


In 1987 I had a closed head injury, during examinations I was diagnosed with Hydrocephalus and a Glioma brain tumor on the brainstem in the midbrain. Three Neurosurgeons agree the tumor is inoperable. I'm tired quite frequently, even if I have a good nights sleep. My wife told me, The Neurosurgeon said fatigue is a result of a closed head injury. I want to know why that is so. Thank you.

"Closed head injury" is a general term used for a head injury that has no contact with the outer environment (the skin is intact). Chronic fatigue can be due to many conditions, including head injury or tumor. DISCLAIMER: "Ask a Doctor" Questions are answered by Dr. Nikola Gjuzelov, General Practitioner.
