After six operations, Vilma cannot not hold tears of joy
The 46-year-old woman named Vilma learned about the tumor unexpectedly. “In 2012, the doctor of the Kaunas Clinic of Ear, Nose and Throat Diseases, Dr. Nora Šiupšinskienė operated my daughter due to snoring. At the same time, doctors asked why it is difficult for me to breathe through the nose. I received a referral from a family doctor and signed up for a consultation with a specific other doctor,” the woman told the story.

For the first time in Lithuania and the Baltic States, the tumor was removed by endoscopic method through the nasal passage from the hard-to-reach point of the skull foundation (temporomandibular pyramid and wedge sinus), while freeing the optic nerve.
