Is Brain Stem Disease Fatal?
Question: Is Brain Stem disease fatal? Is there treatment?
Brief Answer:
Serious and could be potentially fatal
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks for the query,
The brain stem is a very important area in the brain. It contains the control centres for the heart function and control and respiration.
When affected, control of such vital body functions could be seriously altered and could be very fatal. I strongly suggest a reevaluation by a neurosurgeon or neurologist. A CT scan and Magentic rasonance imaging, MRI, could be very helpful.
Thanks and kind regards
