My Jackson Miracle - Martha Rey

After leaving a routine dentist appointment, Martha Rey cut through a parking garage, and accidentally slipped on a grease spot. When she fell, she hit her head. Fortunately, emergency room doctors did not find a head injury or concussion in her MRI scans. However, the scans showed a large meningioma tumor in her brain. To treat her tumor, Rey was referred to Jacques Morcos, MD, FRCS, FAANS, division chief of cranial neurosurgery at Jackson Memorial Hospital, and a UHealth - University of Miami Health System cerebrovascular and skull base neurosurgeon, who shared a non-invasive surgical option for Rey’s specific tumor, condition, and age. On December 15, 2021, Rey underwent a successful craniotomy to remove the meningioma.
