Personality Changes and Staring Spells in a 12-Year-Old Child: A Case Report Incorporating ChatGPT, a Natural Language Processing Tool Driven by Artificial Intelligence (AI)

Abstract

Low grade gliomas (LGGs) are the most common type of brain tumors diagnosed in children. The presentation of intracranial tumors in pediatric patients is varied and diverse. The early identification and treatment of LGGs are important to achieve favorable outcomes. Although personality changes can be a symptom of intracranial tumors, they are rarely the only main presenting feature. In addition to central nervous system (CNS) tumors, personality changes can be associated with psychological and endocrine conditions, contributing to a broad differential diagnosis. Because symptoms such as personality changes have the potential to be missed, communication between family members and clinicians is imperative to identify these symptoms early. We report the case of a 12-year-old child who presented with personality changes as her main symptom and was found to have an intracranial neoplasm. This case report integrates original author writing with output from ChatGPT, a natural language processing tool driven by artificial intelligence (AI). In addition to the case itself, this report will explore the benefits and drawbacks of using natural language AI in this context.
