Pediatric Brain Tumor Surgery

What is Pediatric Brain Tumor Surgery?

Taking out tumors in a child's brain or spinal cord is done through a delicate and life-saving process called pediatric brain tumor surgery. Brain tumors are the most common solid tumors in kids, and if they are found early and treated by experts, the results are much better.

Surgery is often the first step in treatment. The goal is to safely remove as much of the tumor as possible, ease the patient's symptoms, and prove the diagnosis with a biopsy.

Why is Brain Tumor Surgery Needed in Children?

Surgery may be recommended if:

• Headaches, vomiting, seizures, or trouble seeing are all signs of the growth.
• Images show that the growth is easy to get to and can be safely removed.
• To find out what kind of growth it is, a tissue sample is needed.
• The tumor is putting pressure on the brain or affecting vital functions.

Types of Pediatric Brain Tumors Treated

• Medulloblastoma
• Astrocytoma
• Ependymoma
• Glioma
• Craniopharyngioma
• Pineal region tumors
• Brainstem tumors (select cases)

What Happens During Surgery?

• The child is placed under general anesthesia.
• A pediatric neurosurgeon with special training gets to the tumor through a carefully planned hole in the head.
• Neuronavigation, intraoperative MRI, and cameras are some of the more advanced tools that help surgeons remove tumors safely and accurately.
• In some cases, a shunt may also be placed to relieve fluid buildup in the brain (hydrocephalus).

Recovery and Follow-Up

• The child is closely watched in the Pediatric ICU after surgery.
• How long it takes to recover varies on what kind of tumor it is and where it is.
• No matter what kind of growth it is, more treatments like radiation therapy, chemotherapy, or physical therapy may be needed.
• Long-term follow-up includes regular scans, neurological exams, and developmental support.
