Patient's question:
A couple of years ago, I had surgery at 302 Hospital in Beijing. At that time, the doctor said there was still a possibility of 18 months of life. We all hope for a miracle to happen.Doctor's answer:
Currently, the situation is that eating a little bit causes vomiting, and it is considered to be caused by increased intracranial pressure. It is central in nature, and there are no very effective methods. As for the child at the moment, there are two possibilities: one is the recurrence of the tumor, and the other is hydrocephalus. Hydrocephalus is relatively easy to treat—just a shunt is needed—but if the brain tumor recurs, there might be a second recurrence after the first one.Currently, the recommendation is to focus on symptomatic treatment. If necessary, it is possible to seek medical attention at the Tianjin Hospital in Beijing, as its neurosurgery department is considered the best in Asia.
