Brain tumor effusion is more serious.
As the brain tumor grows and develops, it will compress the surrounding tissues, such as compressing the third ventricle, the fourth ventricle, the lateral ventricles and other conditions, and even infiltration.
If any part of the cerebrospinal fluid circulation pathway is affected, the cerebrospinal fluid circulation will be impaired, which will be manifested as the phenomenon of hydrocephalus, also known as obstructive hydrocephalus. And people with severe hydrocephalus may experience headaches, increased intracranial pressure, nausea, vomiting and other symptoms.
Hydrocephalus needs to be treated aggressively to avoid further damage. If the increased intracranial pressure is severe, medications or through extraventricular drainage can be used to reduce the intracranial pressure, and tumor removal is also performed to restore the hydrocephalus after the obstruction is removed. At the same time, it is also necessary to determine the nature of the tumor through pathological examination, according to the benign and malignant, targeted treatment.
It is recommended that patients with brain tumors complicated by hydrocephalus should seek medical treatment in time, and be actively treated under the guidance of doctors, so as not to delay the condition and cause serious consequences.
