Decreased visual acuity, urination disorders, digestive disorders, and various symptoms, such as psychiatry, ophthalmology, urology, etc. Many times miss the treatment time, accurate diagnosis is important.

Surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, etc. There are surgery in principle.

There are also gene therapy, photodynamic therapy, and thermotherapy.

The next effective treatment is surgery.

Recently, radiosurgery includes gamma knife and linear accelerators, and is especially effective for brain metastases, recurrent brain cancers, and auditory necroma.

More advanced methods include intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) and proton therapy.

Headaches, vomiting, arm / leg paralysis, epileptic seizures, visual impairment, facial nerve paralysis, and hearing loss.

It can also appear as a gastrointestinal disorder, defecation / urination disorder, mental disorders, movement disorders, and speech impairment.

Pediatric brain tumors can interfere with the flow of cerebrospinal fluid, causing hydrocephalus, and compressing the brainstem and cranial nerves.
