New research from the University of Health Sciences in Kayseri, Turkey focuses on pediatric tectal glioma, a type of low-grade brain tumor that occurs in the tectal region at the roof of the brainstem. Symptoms of tectal glioma include increased intracranial pressure due to obstructive hydrocephalus, which can cause headaches, blurred vision, double vision, nausea, and vomiting. Treatment options for hydrocephalus include endoscopic third ventriculostomy (ETV) or ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt. The research presents two cases of pediatric patients with mesencephalic tectal plate tumors, with one patient being treated with a VP-shunt for acute hydrocephalus. [Extracted from the article] |
