Pediatric Brain Tumors

Pediatric brain tumors are abnormal growths that develop in a child’s brain or central nervous system. These tumors can affect essential functions such as movement, vision, balance, and cognitive development due to their location in sensitive brain areas. Early symptoms may include headaches, vomiting, seizures, or changes in behavior and school performance. Treatment often involves a combination of advanced neurosurgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy, depending on the tumor type and its location. With modern techniques and specialized pediatric care, many children achieve good long-term outcomes while preserving neurological function and quality of life.
