Brain tumors in children are a significant medical challenge due to a combination of genetic predisposition and environmental factors. Some genetic syndromes, such as neurofibromatosis and Li-Fraumeni syndrome, increase the risk. Exposure to ionizing radiation, especially during childhood, is also a potential risk factor. Primary brain tumors are more common in children, and symptoms vary depending on the tumor’s location, size, and growth rate. Common symptoms include persistent headaches, nausea, vision changes, balance problems, seizures, developmental delays, increased head size, and focal neurological deficits. Diagnosis typically involves a neurological examination, imaging studies like MRI or CT scans, and a biopsy to determine the tumor’s type and grade.
Navigation-assisted craniotomy is a surgical technique that uses advanced computer technology to create a 3D map of the patient’s brain, which is then integrated into a navigation system. This allows the surgeon to locate the tumor and navigate around critical brain structures in real-time, minimizing damage to healthy tissue, improving tumor resection, and reducing neurological deficit risk, leading to better patient outcomes.
Master. Edric Malone Limboo from Sikkim successfully underwent Navigation-Assisted Craniotomy for Brain Tumor Removal at Yashoda Hospitals, Hyderabad, under the supervision of Dr. Ayyadurai R, Sr. Consultant Neurosurgeon.
