Let's talk about it

Malignant symptoms of pineal cyst?

The tumors in the pineal region squeeze the aqueduct of the brain, causing hydrocephalus, headache, vomiting, papilledema and disturbance of consciousness; Squeezing the tectum of superior colliculus resulted in superior colliculus syndrome, including superior visual paralysis, disappearance of pupillary reflex to light, pupillary convergence reflex paralysis and wide gait; There may be tinnitus, deafness, incomplete paralysis of limbs and signs of bilateral pyramidal tracts when the midbrain structure is compressed; Squeezing cerebellum showed holding instability, gait shaking and horizontal nystagmus; There are appetite changes, obesity or emaciation, sleep disorders, thermoregulation disorders and behavioral disorders in hypothalamus extrusion.

Diabetes insipidus and hypopituitarism were found in the patients who invaded the base of the third ventricle. The most important endocrine disorder is precocious puberty or delayed puberty. The patients with precocious puberty are not pineal main cell tumor, but teratoma and germ cell tumor. There are two possible mechanisms of precocious puberty in pineal region tumors: one is that tumors secrete hormones to promote precocious puberty.

Teratoma and choriocarcinoma can secrete human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG). HCG can stimulate testes to secrete testosterone, but not ovaries to secrete estrogen. This may explain why about 1 / 3 boys have precocious puberty, while girls rarely have this manifestation. There is LH releasing hormone (LHRH) in the pineal gland, so it is possible that pineal gland tumors also secrete excessive LHRH, but this has not been confirmed. The other is the oppression hypothesis. Most patients with precocious puberty have extensive damage outside the pineal region, including hypothalamic function damage. Therefore, scholars believe that precocious puberty is caused by non solid tumors that damage the functional pineal tissue and reduce the release of melatonin or other factors that inhibit gonadotropin (GNH) secretion.

matters needing attention

Active treatment of primary diseases. Do more aerobic outdoor exercise, relieve the pressure of life and work, control computer and mobile phone smoking, regular life, avoid staying up late and getting cold, improve sleep quality, low salt and low fat, avoid spicy stimulation, greasy, cold and indigestible food, supplement rich nutrition, eat more fruits and vegetables.
