If your child has these symptoms, don't be careless. It may be a brain tumor. What are the signs?
A child is the hope of a family. After the child is born, sometimes the body often has some symptoms. Brain tumors are the most common tumors in childhood. Many parents do not fully understand this type of disease, often ignore the early symptoms of the disease, and delay timely treatment and detection.
Children should not be careless when these symptoms appear, which may be a precursor to the appearance of brain tumors.
What is the nature of brain tumor
There is a pediatric neurosurgery in the hospital. This department is responsible for children and adolescents between the ages of 0 and 16. Many hospitals have even relaxed it to the age of 18. For children's nervous system diseases, any need to be treated by surgical means , all belong to neurosurgery.
Many children sometimes have congenital brain malformations or head trauma, and some abnormal things grow in the brain tissue, such as tumors and vascular malformations, which can be treated by surgery.
Symptoms of Brain Tumors
In fact, tumors in the brain may occur in children at every age. Many experts believe that this disease generally occurs around the age of 10, but there are also some very young children who suffer from this disease. Because the child is too young to express well, it is very difficult to detect some early diseases.
In fact, many diseases have some early manifestations, so you must be careful when taking care of children. When your child vomits, you must be careful as a parent. It is the only early symptom due to increased intracranial pressure, or because the tumor is located in the back of the brain, which can provoke vomiting symptoms. Under normal circumstances, occasional vomiting parents do not need to worry too much.
Children often have headaches. Most of them are dull pains, and the location cannot be accurately determined. In a few cases, it may be because the tumor directly stimulates the brain, so there will be limited headaches.
Sometimes children also have vision loss, because the child's brain tumor just appears in the midline, especially in the anterior part of the brain, which is particularly easy to affect the optic nerve, so there will be vision loss or visual field damage. When the child is not feeling well, be sure to take the child to the hospital for a detailed examination, to detect the condition as soon as possible and treat it as soon as possible.
If the child's brain is not closed within one year old, if the child's head grows abnormally and the head circumference increases, it is necessary to be alert to whether there is a tumor in the brain, or some congenital the possibility of disease.
When a child has this condition, as a parent, we must cooperate with the doctor's treatment, and at the same time, we must pay attention to the child's diet structure, and let the child eat more easily digestible and nutritious foods.
Although the level of medical care is constantly improving, there are certain risks when performing surgery. Therefore, we must do a good job of preventing diseases and exercise more to improve the body's ability to resist diseases.
