# Physiotherapy Intervention in a Patient With a Glioma of the Cingulate Gyrus: A Report of a Rare Case

## TL;DR

This paper presents a rare case of a brain tumor in the cingulate gyrus and explores how physiotherapy can help manage the condition.

## Contribution

The paper introduces a rare case study highlighting physiotherapy's role in treating a glioma in the cingulate gyrus.

## Key findings

- A 45-year-old female with a CG glioma showed symptoms like vision loss and headaches.
- Physiotherapy was used as part of a multidisciplinary approach to manage the patient's condition.
- The case emphasizes the need for tailored care in rare brain tumor locations.

## Abstract

The cortical part of the limbic system, the cingulate gyrus (CG), is a conspicuous structure present in the central aspect of the cerebral cortex. It is associated with various cognitive, emotional, and behavioral purposes and has a significant impact on the limbic system, which is responsible for emotions and memory processes. The aim of the study is to comprehensively document and evaluate the effectiveness of physiotherapy intervention in managing a rare case of glioma specifically located in the CG through a concise and impactful online presentation. A CG lesion refers to damage or injury to the CG, a part of the brain located in the cerebral cortex’s medial (inner) aspect. A 45-year-old female was admitted to the neurosurgery ICU with a complaint of diminished vision and headaches for the past 1.5 months. She had a history of fever and vomiting. She was diagnosed with a CG lesion on the contrast-enhanced MRI of the brain. This report of a rare case highlights the potential benefits of physiotherapy intervention in a patient with a glioma of the CG. The unique challenges posed by this specific brain tumor location necessitate a tailored and multidisciplinary approach to patient care.
