Abstract
The frontal lobe is responsible for high-order functioning,
such as memory, attention, decision-making, and
personality. Lesions in the frontal lobe may lead to
different physical and psychological problems. The
current study was conducted to examine the emotional,
cognitive, and behavioural states and coping strategies of
a patient with recurrent bilateral frontal lobe lesion. It also
attempted to determine post-traumatic stress disorder
(PTSD) symptoms in a patient. This study described the
case of an adult with recurrent bilateral frontal lobe
tumour. It covered the clinical presentation,
administration of Urdu translation of the Schema Mode
Inventory (SMI) and Clinician-Administered PTSD Scale for
DSM-5 (CAPS-5), and analysis of the case. The results of
the study showed that the recurrent bilateral frontal lobe
brain tumour patient engaged in child mode and had a
dysfunctional coping style and a maladaptive punitive
parent mode. Furthermore, the patient also had
moderate PTSD symptoms.
