Jade-Marie Clark, from Glasgow, first began experiencing what she thought was an ear infection while pregnant with her first baby.
A Scots mum who dismissed her twitching eye as 'college stress' has shocked to discover it was caused by a rare brain tumour - which has now left her unable to smile.
She then had to wait until after giving birth to her son Rory Clark in November 2023 to have the growth removed. Sadly, following her operation, the mum-of-two has been left with facial palsy meaning she is unable to smile or produce tears out of her right eye. "I was at college as well to study childcare. Before I fell pregnant, several months before assessments were due my eye started twitching for long periods of time and I thought this was down to the stress of college. I just put it down to hormones and me being busy and the eye twitching was down to the stress of college and having a two-year-old.
Jade-Marie was diagnosed with an acoustic neuroma brain tumour in May 2023 and was told by doctors the 1.7 millimetres growth had been in her head for at least five years and in six months quickly grew to 3.1 centimetres. According to the NHS, an acoustic neuroma is a type of non-cancerous, benign brain tumour also known as vestibular schwannoma.
