Knowledge of pediatric intracranial tumors

Therefore, early identification and timely diagnosis of intracranial tumors is the key to treatment, which requires parents to enhance their knowledge of common pediatric intracranial tumors. There are many pediatric intracranial tumors and their clinical manifestations are closely related to the growth rate, location, presence of hydrocephalus, hemorrhage and seizures. Most children will have varying degrees of headache, vomiting, and vision loss.
