In late 2021, Kate began experiencing intermittent loss of vision in her right eye. Initially, the loss of vision was only once or twice a day, but over time it escalated to over 10 times a day. Kate knew then it was time to call the doctor. After a thorough exam found nothing but healthy eyes, her ophthalmologist ordered an MRI to take a look at Kate’s brain. Kate and her family were shocked by what they found. 

We are overwhelmed by the support from our local community for this newly branded first-year race. Thanks for rolling up your sleeves with us to show up for the Brain Tumor community.

Susan was riddled with pain and limitations on a daily basis due to her scoliosis.

At Carolina NeuroSurgery & Spine Associates (CNSA), our physicians collaborate with specialists across a variety of specialties. In this case, the collaboration was with Charlotte Eye Ear Nose & Throat Associates (CEENTA) specialists for a patient who was on the cusp of motherhood.
