Surgery of Pediatric Brain Tumor Treatment

The problems that arise in the treatment of brain tumors in infants are based on anatomical and physiological features and morphofunctional immaturity of the growing skull and brain of infants. The clinical picture of the disease manifests itself delayed, due to the increased hydrophilicity of the infant brain, the ability of the skull bones to compensatory stretch with increased intracranial pressure. The general brain symptoms prevailing in the clinic often mislead pediatricians, forcing them to conduct a diagnostic search in the wrong direction. As a result, by the time of diagnosis – a large prevalence of the process.

Brain cancer in children is amenable to different treatments. The main method of treating brain cancer is considered surgical. During the operation, the surgeon’s task is to determine whether the tumor found is a tumor and remove it. Brain cancer is excised through healthy tissues to prevent further growth and metastasis. At the same time, brain cancer in children is operated on in such a way that, having removed the tumor, maximally preserve the brain structures and functions, anatomical and functional integrity of the arteries and veins.

Tumor in childhood brain cancer is usually removed by surgery in stages:

• The first stage is a craniotomy, that is, trepanation, or an autopsy of the skull. At the same time, a section of cranial bone with the skin above it is removed – a bone flap.
• The main stage of the operation is the removal of the tumor, after which the bone flap is put in place.

Such operations are performed mainly for the treatment of primary brain tumors. In secondary tumors, surgery is resorted to when there is a single lesion in the brain. However, operations are usually not performed in the treatment of secondary tumors. In addition to surgery, other treatments for brain cancer in children are possible.
