A Salmaniya Medical Complex (SMC) team has saved the life of a Bahraini woman in her seventies by successfully removing a tumour at the base of her skull using a nasal endoscope.
She had been suffering from severe headaches and dizziness for two years and the cause was discovered after she underwent MRI and CT scans.
The scans revealed a large tumour in the pituitary gland after which the team, led by Consultant Ear, Nose and Throat Surgery Dr Jalal Al Marzooq, performed the procedure.
