- Abstract
The article focuses on a case study of a 38-year-old male with craniopharyngioma who developed symptoms of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) post-surgery, potentially due to disruption of brain circuits. Topics include the association between brain tumor characteristics and OCD symptomatology, the challenges in managing OCD symptoms post-neurosurgery, and the potential role of tumor regrowth in symptom persistence despite treatment efforts.
