Egyptian actress Engy Abdullah announced that she has been partially paralyzed due to serious complications caused by a brain tumor, in news that shocked her fans and followers, who expressed deep sadness after details of her difficult health crisis were revealed.

The former Miss Egypt revealed that she had completed a difficult treatment journey lasting about four months, during which she underwent intensive chemotherapy and cortisone doses. However, the treatment protocol caused severe weakness on the right side of her body, which later developed into complete paralysis on that side.

The actress explained that her health crisis is due to a benign tumor in the “brain stem,” one of the most dangerous areas associated with the body’s vital functions. She noted that she first underwent treatment in 2019 before the suffering returned about six months ago with severe symptoms, including loss of sensation and difficulty swallowing.

Engy Abdullah added that several doctors apologized for continuing her treatment because of the tumor’s dangerous location and the exhaustion of the legally permitted treatment doses,

which forced her to sign a document accepting responsibility for possible treatment complications, reflecting the seriousness and complexity of her condition.
