My best friend has been diagnosed her illness as septum pellucidum knub or ventricle knub.

the hospital's advice is to take the cerebrum surgery.

Doctor's Answer

I believe you are referring to a mass in this region. Without knowing what the mass is I cannot recommend a particular treatment or risks. If you are uncertain about the prior doctors recommendations, then obtaining a second opinion would be reasonable. Good luck.
