Vision loss is related to brain tumors. Seven signs of brain tumors in children

Headache, nausea and vomiting are the main symptoms of malignant tumors of the nervous system, but people currently have a serious lack of understanding of them. They are often treated as other diseases such as colds or gastroenteritis, which delays treatment. So what are the signs of brain tumors in children?

Five factors are related to the occurrence of brain tumors

1. Late childbearing: parents’ childbearing age is >40 years old.

2. Radiation: Women have undergone radiation examinations during pregnancy preparation or pregnancy.

3. Have undergone radiotherapy, especially local radiotherapy in the abdomen.

4. During pregnancy, a large amount of bacon is consumed, resulting in a serious lack of vitamin C intake.

5. Men and women of childbearing age who are frequently exposed to pesticides over a long period of time are more likely to give birth to children with malignant tumors of the childhood nervous system.

Beware of seven signs of brain tumors in children

1. Headache without obvious cause. Brain tumors can cause increased intracranial pressure and lead to headaches, which are often accompanied by nausea and vomiting. They can exist continuously or occur intermittently. If the headaches persist and no other cause can be found, screening for brain tumors is recommended.

2. Enlargement of the head. Children with brain tumors are prone to developing hydrocephalus, which causes the head to enlarge and the fontanelle to not close. If parents find that their child's head is significantly larger than other children of the same age, they should be alert.

3. Unsteady walking. The child has long passed the age of learning to walk, but walks crookedly. Some parents simply think that their child learns to walk later than other children, while others think it is a problem of brain development. In fact, this is also one of the symptoms of brain tumors.

4. Developmental abnormalities. Some children start growing pubic hair at a very young age, and their penis is significantly larger than that of children of the same age. Girls develop breasts prematurely, which is a symptom of precocious puberty. Because some brain tumors can cause changes in the pituitary gland and hypothalamus, leading to hormone secretion disorders and thus precocious puberty.

5. Decreased vision. If a child's vision suddenly deteriorates within a short period of time, it may be caused by a brain tumor compressing the optic nerve.

6. Epilepsy. If children have high fever convulsions or epileptic seizures for no apparent reason, it may be a sign of a brain tumor.

7. Drinking and urinating frequently. (Diabetes insipidus) is also a common symptom of some brain tumors and should be taken seriously.
