Dr. Frank Culicchia discussed brain cancer on WDSU.
The recent death of Senator Ted Kennedy has raised public awareness of brain tumors. Frank Culicchia, M.D. spoke about the symptoms of brain tumors on WDSU-TV’s “On-Call” segment. According to Dr. Culicchia, a neurosurgeon and chairman of the LSU Department of Neurosurgery, brain tumors can cause seizures as well as focal deficits such as progressive paralysis, difficulty with speech or vision. He says these symptoms may occur gradually over a period of weeks or months.
