Kasie Hunt Brain Tumor Surgery
A four-hour operation was performed on the CNN anchor and chief national affairs analyst to remove a benign brain tumor. But it took a long time to arrive at that conclusion. Hunt said she has a family history of migraines and assumed that was the cause of her symptoms. The neurologist had her undergo a routine MRI scan as part of a new patient intake, and the scan revealed something.
They requested a follow-up to double-check, and the follow-up revealed something that was a little clearer. She underwent a series of additional tests to determine if there was anything else going on in her body that could have caused the scan results. To get through the workday, she continued to take medication for her migraines.
In August, Hunt’s condition deteriorated. She had another scan around the time she started her new job at CNN, and it revealed a small rate of growth. Daniel Yoshor, M.D., and his team at Penn Medicine, which is part of the University of Pennsylvania Health System, performed her surgery. Hunt’s tumor was small, which she describes as “very good from a prognosis standpoint.” The tumor turned out to be harmless.
