Glioma in children - symptoms
Glioma is a type of tumor that occurs in the brain or spinal cord of a child. This disease is one of the most common types of primary brain tumors. The child's nerve cells are surrounded by viscous supporting cells that ensure their normal functioning (glial), and it is in them that the formation of tumors in children begins. Gliomas can be of different types, depending on the type of glial cells:
- astrocytoma, anaplastic astrocytoma, and glioblastoma;
- ependymoma;
- oligodendroglioma.
Regardless of the type of tumor, glioma is a dangerous disease that leads to dysfunction of the child's brain. The course of the disease depends on the size and location of the tumor. The symptoms of glioma in children can also differ depending on the type of tumor, its size, growth rate, and where it is located.
The most common childhood disease is the appearance of headache, nausea and vomiting, dizziness, blurred vision, disorientation, memory and mental impairment, changes in the child's behavior, urinary incontinence.
Basic methods diagnosis of cancer in children

In the future, the child undergoes a biopsy of the tumor tissue to determine its nature.
Glioma can be low malignant and highly malignant. The latter are rarely found in children, but they have the most severe consequences due to their rapid growth and germination into other tissues. Timely diagnosis is one of the key factors in the overall success of treatment, so it is worth entrusting diagnostic procedures to experienced specialists.
