Biography:
Carmelo Cerrelli was born at Policlinico Agostino Gemelli in Roma (known as Rome the capital of Italy). He was the elder of the two children, and attended Saint Francis and Clare International School, Roma Italy. He stated that as a child he used to abhor fiction books, preferring books about science and nature. He also stated that he had a photographic memory. Throughout his teenage he had been undergoing counseling sessions to help deal with pressure of his parents’ divorce. His father was a great Italian business man who wanted his son to follow his own footsteps. Carmelo was totally against these thoughts as he was always interested in science and wanted to pursue his own dreams. His father tried hard to make Carmelo fulfill his wishes but he stood his ground firmly hence declining his father’s offer completely. In opposition of his father’s wishes and driven by the innate love of science he worked hard and get enrolled in his dream university.
Cerrelli completed his studies from Sapienza – Università di Roma his training included a four year undergraduate degree, a medical degree of M.D which comprises an additional four years of study and then completing a four years residency in neurology. The four year residency includes one year of internal medicine training followed by three years of training in neurology.
After completing his training he worked for several more years in Rome before moving to Germany in 2008 where he worked at the University of Göttingen and then moved to the Schön Klinik München Schwabing in 2012 where he is currently employed.
Carmelo Cerrelli is married to Tatiana Casanova. They got engaged on February 2005 and were wed in Roma in November 2007. Carmelo Cerrelli is deeply involved with charity work. In November 2013 he visited India with the Life Water charity with their “Drop 4 Drop” campaign to introduce fresh water hence lowering the risk of many fatal diseases. Carmelo Cerrelli and his wife even donated ½ million Euros for the treatment of brain tumor. On April 2014 they gave birth to twins a baby boy named Markus and a baby girl name Francesca.
Carmelo Cerrelli is a great follower of Jean Martin Charcot as he too thinks of art as a crucial tool of the clinic anatomic method. Jean Martin had the habit of using photos and drawings, many made by himself or his students, in his class and conferences. Martin also used to draw outside the neurology domain as a personal hobby. Hence Carmelo himself tries to follow the footsteps of Jean Martin as Jean Martin Charcot like Duchenne is considered to be the key figure of incorporation of photography to the study of neurological cases.
Even though Carmelo Cerrelli is a man who is quite fond of being a surgeon but he also loves to become a teacher hence plans on pursuing that dream as well hopefully in the on coming years. Carmelo Cerrelli stated that he would like to be a professor and to teach young and thriving doctors how to achieve their goals but what he would consider to be the best achievement is to teach and train his own flesh and blood how to be the best.

What Are The Signs And Symptoms of Brain Tumor
In a brain tumour, cells grow abnormally, but this doesn’t mean a tumour is cancerous. According to distinguished neuro surgeon Carmelo Cerrelli, the signs and symptoms of a brain tumor vary greatly and depend on the brain tumor’s size, location and rate of growth. General symptoms include:
Headaches, which may be severe and may worsen with activity or in the early morning Seizures: Motor seizures, also called convulsions, are sudden involuntary movements of a person’s muscles. People may experience different types of seizures, including myclonic and tonic-clonic (grand mal). Certain drugs can help prevent or control them. Myclonic: Single or multiple muscle twitches, jerks, spasms Tonic-Clonic (Grand Mal): Loss of consciousness and body tone, followed by twitching and relaxing muscles that are called contractions. Also loss of control of body functions. A person may turn a shade of blue due to a short 30-second period of no breathing, after this type of seizure a person may be sleepy and experience a headache, confusion, weakness, numbness, and sore muscles. Sensory: Change in sensation, vision, smell, and/or hearing without losing consciousness Complex partial: May cause a loss of awareness or a partial or total loss of consciousness. Personality or memory changes Nausea or vomiting Fatigue
Symptoms that may be specific to the location of the tumor include:
Pressure or headache near the tumor Loss of balance and difficulty with fine motor skills is linked with a tumor in the cerebellum. A tumor in the frontal lobe of the cerebrum can be associated with changes in judgment, including loss of initiative, sluggishness, and muscle weakness or paralysis. Partial or complete loss of vision is caused by a tumor in the occipital lobe or temporal lobe of the cerebrum. A tumor in the frontal and temporal lobe of cerebrum can develop changes in speech, hearing, memory, or emotional state, such as aggressiveness and problems understanding or retrieving words. Altered perception of touch or pressure, arm or leg weakness on one side of the body, or confusion with left and right sides of the body are linked to a tumor in the frontal or parietal lobe of the cerebrum. Inability to look upward can be caused by a pineal gland tumor. Lactation, which is the secretion of breast milk and altered menstrual periods in women, and growth in hands and feet in adults are associated with a pituitary tumor. Difficulty swallowing, facial weakness or numbness, or double vision is a symptom of a tumor in the brain stem. Vision changes, including loss of part of the vision or double vision can be from a tumor in the temporal lobe, occipital lobe, or brain stem.
