If reading about medical stuff is of no interest to you, please skip this section. Also as a disclaimer, I am not a physician so any part of this document should not be used to treat any condition.  Also the illustrations are found in the book.)

a) The left portion is for speech, motor, and sensory functions

b) The right portion is for abstract concepts

The Occipital lobe is responsible for vision.

4) Temporal Lobe (Responsible for)

a) Behavior

More helpful definitions

Seizure- A seizure is an uncontrollable convulsion,  spasm or series of jerking motions in the arms, legs, trunk, or face. In my case, I do recall this ever happening, but I was told this is what took place.

Computed Tomography (CT) scan Computer Tomography Scanning. This type of scan is a safe, noninvasive test that uses an X-ray beam and a computer to make 2-dimensional images of the brain. Similar to an MRI, it views the brain in slices, layer-by-layer, taking a picture of each slice. A dye (contrast agent) may be injected into your bloodstream. A CT scan is especially useful for viewing changes in bony structures.

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) A MRI scan is a noninvasive test that uses a magnetic field and radiofrequency waves to give a detailed view of the soft tissues of the brain. It views the brain 3-dimensionally in slices that can be taken from the
side or from the top as a cross-section. A dye (contrast agent) may be injected into your bloodstream. MRI is very useful to evaluate brain lesions and their effects on  surrounding brain.

What I remember the MRI was like I was being placed in a tube for 1 hour. In the  tube, it sounded like a marble was going round and round. To avoid feeling  claustrophobic, I closed my eyes and eventually fell asleep until it was finished (the process lasted around an hour). The CT scan was not as closed, I still closed my eyes during the process.

Craniotomy- To cut open the skull at a particular point, to get to something like a  tumor.

Suboccipital- The lower back portion of the skull.

Craniotomies are named according to the portion of the brain being operated on, and the operation is performed by a neurosurgeon. There are possibly exceptions to this rule, but since I am not a neurosurgeon, I cannot name all the different variations. My personal operation lasted for around 10 hours.

A "suboccipital craniotomy" was performed on me while I was in the hospital. A "craniotomy" is a cut that opens the cranium, or skull. During this procedure, a section of the skull is removed to access the brain. The brain is protected by the skull.

The skull is replaced after this procedure is finished with tiny titanium plates and screws. This surgery normally requires a hospital stay that ranges from a few days to a number of weeks. In my case it was a number of weeks. (See more on a craniotomy at the following web address:

(website in ebook or handheld)

Electrocautery- This does not refer to electrosurgery. The current flows in one direction
instead of alternating (the current alternates in electrosurgery). The current never enters the patient's body, only the heated wire comes in contact with the tissue. This unit is used to control bleeding during surgery.

Endotracheal (tube) - A breathing tube which is designed to establish an airway in seconds, in emergency situations. It is the breathing tube that comes out of patient's nose when they go into surgery.

how long do brain tumors in frontal lobes last?

How long can the brain tumor located in the frontal lobes last before resulting in death without using antibiotics.

That's hard to say. If benign, it will "last" for as long as the person lives. Tumors don't just go away. Because of the location, frontal tumors can have a big impact on behavior and can cause reckless, irresponsible behavior which could endanger a person bringing about an untimely death.

If malignant and slow-growing, it could take years. If malignant and aggressive, as long as 18 months. Depends on at what stage of the tumor the diagnosis is made, how long the tumor has been present.

Antibiotics aren't used to treat tumors, they are not a bacterial infection.

You'd have to be much more specific in your question.
