Space Occupying Lesions and Homeopathy

Synonyms

SOL

Definition

Space occupying lesions of the Brain are a group of heterogenous disorders of various etiologies, which may have a common mode of presentation.

Causes

Brain tumor (the leading cause)-  aeth. apom. arn. aur-i. Bar-c. bell. calc. cham. Con. glon. graph. hydr. Kali-i. Plb. PLB-I. sep. staph. sulph. Thuj. zinc-s.

Others are-

Tuberculoma-Apis Bac. bell. bry. calc. Calc-p. cocc. Cupr-cy. dig. glon. Hell. hyos. iod. Iodof. kali-i. op. stram. Sulph. tub. Verat-v. zinc. zinc-o.

Fungal granuloma-ant-t. ars. BELL. calc. carb-v. cham. CON. iod. Kreos. LACH. Merc. nux-v. phos. rhus-t. SIL. sulph.

Brain abscess- arn. bell. crot-h. iod. lach. merc-pr-r. op. staphycoc. vip.

Neurocysticercosis-Anth. ars. art-v. asaf. bar-m. Bell. Cham. Cic. CINA cupr. cupr-o. Hyos. Ign. Indg. kali-br. kali-c. Nux-v. petr. plat. sabad. Santin. sil. spig. Stann. stram. sulph. tanac. Ter.

Clinical Presentation

It depends on size, location, age and invasive quality of the SOL. The lesions in silent areas of brain i.e. frontal lobe and intraventricular region show their presence only after being very large in size.

Non specific features

Headache-

Location- Often bifrontal or suboccipital, may be temporal.

Sensation- Mild to moderate.

Modalities- Worse in early hours of the day and ameliorated by vomiting.

Concomitants- Nausea, vomiting, bradycardia and irregulaqr respiration.
