       This is a 25-year-old male who presents with headaches. They have been 
        present for several years. The whole head is involved and there is associated 
        stomach pain. 
      He has had multiple tumors resected from the bilateral lower extremities 
        and ultimately underwent an amputation below the right knee for bone-associated 
        tumors. He has had a prior right temporal lobe and left cerebellar partial 
        resections for tumor. 
      His last MRI was approximately five years prior. The patient and his 
        parents are not aware of any new symptoms. His vision is unchanged and 
        he has undergone an eye examination recently. He has had no change in 
        his voice, swallowing, balance, sensation or strength. The only concern 
        his mother had is that sometimes his eyes appear "glazed over." 
        This occurs more often when he is playing video games, but can occur other 
        times. She is often able to get his attention during this time if she 
        is persistent.
