Neurosurgery eval: If the tumor is abutting the frontoparietal region, it likely is causing pressure on the underlying motor cortex that controls the left leg. Depending on the patient's age and medical condition as well as the size of the tumor, one should consider surgery to remove the tumor. Surgery is very efficacious in eliminating the tumor and frequently improves the symptoms.
