How does child brain haematoma treat?

summary

80% to 90% of children's brain tumors need surgery. Intracranial tumors in children are mainly resected by surgery, accounting for 80% ~ 90%. For most tumors, postoperative radiotherapy can be supplemented. Malignant gliomas can be treated with chemotherapy or immunotherapy. In order to avoid this situation, let's talk about how to treat children's cerebral haematoma?.

How does child brain haematoma treat?

First: different from adult surgery, children's brain tumor resection surgery is very difficult. If it can't be completed in one operation, there are many cases that it can be performed two or three times. Because the child's body is small, the blood volume is low, the bleeding is more or faster, and the blood volume is lower. In actual operation, it is often necessary to be prepared to stop the operation at any time. However, under the premise of reasonable and standardized diagnosis and treatment, surgery is better than radiotherapy and chemotherapy.

Second: most of the children are young, especially those less than 3 years old. The long-term side effects of radiotherapy on developing brain tissue can cause radiation-induced brain necrosis, hypothyroidism, growth retardation, IQ reduction and other complications, which need high attention.

Third, of course, it does not mean that chemotherapy and radiotherapy are not advocated, and radiotherapy is needed when the malignancy is high or the tumor can not be completely removed by surgery or recurrence after surgery; In addition, medulloblastoma and germinoma in children are sensitive to radiotherapy and should be treated as conventional adjuvant therapy. Generally speaking, all kinds of gliomas and solid brain tumors usually respond well to radiotherapy. For the recurrence of medulloblastoma in children, the first choice is chemotherapy.

matters needing attention

Many parents of children ask whether children's brain tumors will recur after treatment, which can not be answered. Of course, surgical treatment is to remove the tumor completely as far as possible, but it may not be possible to achieve; Different tumor cells have different sensitivity to radiotherapy and chemotherapy.
