Children often have headaches. Parents do not pay attention to it, and they have found rare malignant brain tumors!

Headache is a physical discomfort that everyone often encounters in life. But it is precisely because of its ordinary. In daily life, many people don't take it for granted. They think that headaches are just minor problems and it is not a big deal. As everyone knows, the common symptoms of brain tumors are headaches!

Luci 14 -year -old boy often had a headache for 3 years and was found rare malignant brain tumors!

Xiao Ao, who lives in Luoxi County, Honghe Prefecture, Yunnan, is 14 years old this year. There are no obvious causes of the left and right sides 3 years ago to alternate interruption headaches. The vision decreases during the attack, the feet are unstable, no nausea, vomiting, and walking. In local hospitals, the symptoms of the brain supplementation of An Shen have improved.

The headache increased one year ago, and the medication could not be relieved. It could be relieved by itself.

After being admitted to the hospital, Dean Zhang Yongli checked and detailed consultation, and it was recommended to improve the inspection.

Pre -surgery

Dean Zhang introduced: "From the results of the examination results, the patient's intracranial saddle and the saddling lesions on the saddle are about 4x2x2cm in size. Considering the possibility of spine tumor, the mesonal nerve is compressed, the visual cross is compressed, and the surgical finger refers to the finger. It is clear that surgical treatment is recommended. At the bottom, the ridge tumor itself is a rare and challenging tumor. After systematic examination and evaluation, it is also found that the child's tumor is closely linked to the important nerves, blood vessels, brain and brain and stems. ","

At this point, Xiao Ao's family understood that the culprit of a headache for many years turned out to be a malignant spine tumor in his head!

For the future of the child, the expert team decided to let go. In order to ensure the successful completion of the operation, the neurosurgery team led by Dean Zhang has been consulting in the department after multiple consultations, and decided to be the main knife of Dean Zhang. The bottom of the forehead, the spinal tumor cutting ".

After detailed preparation, the operation was held as scheduled, and the fighting for 5 hours and 35 minutes. Finally, the tumor under the mirror was completely removed. The nerve function did not have new damage. At present, Xiao Ao has been discharged home to recuperate!

Postoperative examination

Postoperative pathological diagnosis was the saddling-upper slope spine tumor, which further confirmed the previous diagnosis of Dean Zhang.

What is ridge tumor? What symptoms will occur?

The spine is the original group of the human spine. Formed in the third week of the embryo period, the original spine in the early stages of the embryo represents the middle shaft bone and was surrounded by the cartilage matrix in the later stage. The ridge is extended from the bottom of the skull to the slope, and then through the tooth -shaped process and the center of the vertebral body. Located under the pillow bone and the pharynx wall, as the embryo develops into part of the skull bottom and spine, its remaining spine tissue can develop into spine tumors.

Conditional tumors are a rare, slow -growing, local invasive and destructive congenital tumor that can occur in any part of the central nervous axis, but the cranial bottom butterfly pillow and 骶 tail are the most common. The tumor is located at the end of the spinal axis: the tail area (50%), a few appear at the vertebral body (15%), and about 35%affect the slope (butterfly-pillow bone, nose). Expansion; cases that are rare in intracranial duct reports, 10-20%are transferred to lung, bone, liver, and lymph nodes, and it is also seen to spread along the surgical pathway.

Condom tumors can occur at any age, 50 % of the disease at 55-80 years, peaks at 40 to 60 years, and intracranial spine tumors are about 10 years younger than those of sacral spine tumors.

Intracranial spine tumors account for one -third of all spine tumors, which mostly originated from the combination of butterfly pillow cartilage. Therefore, it is often located near the slope and outside the durian. Rare parts include nasopharynx, maxillary bone, sinus and duct.

Its growth is slow, the course of the disease is long, and the average of more than 3 years. Therefore, the symptoms are more hidden. Headache and restoration are the most common symptoms. The nature of the headache is persistent dull pain. It is often full headache. It can also expand to the pillow or neck. Due to the tumor site, the development direction of tumors has different clinical manifestations:

1. Saddy spine tumor

Accompanied by cross -pressure displacement and pituitary function. The low pituitary function is mainly manifested by impotence, amenorrhea, and body fat; the optic nerve compression produces primary optic nerve atrophy, vision loss, and bipolar bias blindness.

2. Condor tumor of the saddle

Mainly manifestation of moving eyes, boats, and abducting nerve palsy, which is more common in exotic nerve suffering.

3. Slope Deloma

The slope spine tumor is the most common type of skull bottom tumor tumor. It is specifically divided into upper, middle, and lower sloped spine tumors:

The upper slope spine tumor often affects the eye nerves. The first appears as the weakness of the eyelids on one side, and the eyes are not open.

Mid -slope ridge tumors often accumulate exterior nerves, and the first manifestations are double shadows of visual objects.

The lower slope spine tumor can accumulate exterior, last group, and lower tongue nerves, manifested as double shadows of visual objects, difficulty swallowing, etc.; Some tumors that suffer from intracranial can cause symptoms of brain stem compression, that is, pedestrian disorders, cone beam signs; If it originated from the distance of the nasopharyngeal wall, it often causes nasopharynx to cause nasal discharge, pain, and purulent or bloody secretions.

What should I do if I have a spine tumor?

The treatment of intracranial spine tumors, at present, the treatment of skull bottom tumor is still mainly surgically treated, and it can be supplemented by radiation treatment according to the patient's condition when necessary.

The intracranial spine tumor has a high recurrence. The principle of surgical treatment of skull bottom tumor is to remove the tumor to the largest and safely remove the patient's survival rate by active surgical treatment.

In recent years, with the advancement of neurosurgery techniques, it can gradually improve the sepusal resection rate with the help of neuroscopic technology, and patients can also get better prognosis most of the time. Therefore, patients who are diagnosed with spine tumors need to be actively treated in the early stage. It is precisely because the spine tumor has high recurrence. Therefore, the patients after surgery must emphasize regular follow -up review in order to detect recurrence lesions in the early stage. Medical intervention.

Dean Zhang emphasized that the cause of headache is very complicated, and some primary headache, which will improve by themselves without treatment. The headache caused by intracranial lesions is a very dangerous signal. Once the treatment is delayed, the harm brings will be irreversible. Do not take it lightly. Regardless of the headache, the nature, the time, and the time of the headache, it should be Just seek medical treatment immediately and check further. Even if you find a spine tumor, you don't have to panic. You must go to a regular hospital to find a professional doctor for surgical treatment.
