GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. â A Rockford man will be discharged from the hospital after suffering from a stroke while doctors operated on a brain tumor that is commonly found in children and rare in adults.
Dino Baskovic was first diagnosed with a glioma, type of tumor that starts in the glial cells of the brain or the spine, in 2008. Baskovic first realized something was wrong when he began suffering from mild seizures solely in his right arm.
"What I experienced for many years would just feel like a very direct, like pins and needles feeling going from the elbow down to the hand. My arm would just stiffen a bit, and that's really it. So that would last for maybe a minute or two, and then it would go away," said Baskovic.
