Understanding Pediatric Brain Tumors

Pediatric brain tumors are abnormal growths of cells within the brain of children, making them one of the most critical and complex medical conditions in the field of pediatric neurology. According to global health statistics, brain tumors are the second most common type of cancer in children after leukemia. In Punjab and specifically in Nawanshahr, increasing awareness and understanding of these conditions is crucial for early detection and treatment.

Brain tumors in children can vary significantly in terms of location, type, and rate of progression. Some may grow slowly, while others can be aggressive. The most common types include gliomas, medulloblastomas, and ependymomas. Identifying the precise type of brain tumor is essential as it dictates the treatment approach and prognosis.

Recognizing the Symptoms

Early detection is pivotal in managing pediatric brain tumors effectively. Symptoms can be subtle and vary based on the tumor's location and size. Common symptoms include:

• Headaches, often in the morning or with activity
• Nausea and vomiting
• Blurred or double vision
• Balance and coordination issues
• Seizures
• Behavioral changes

If any of these symptoms arise persistently, it's crucial to seek medical attention promptly. At Livasa Nawanshahr, our pediatric neurosurgeons are adept at diagnosing these symptoms and initiating the most suitable treatment plans.
