Patient's question:
My baby was diagnosed with a cavernous angioma in the left pons region and the left cerebellar region shortly after birth, originating from the right communicating artery. Can surgery be performed? Are there any other better treatment methods? Can it be completely cured? Is it okay for my baby to have a cavernous angioma in the brain?Doctor's answer:
If the tumor in the brain has spread, it is difficult. This depends on the specific situation and cannot be generalized. Complete removal of the tumor can cure the disease, but the location and size of cerebral aneurysms often make it impossible to completely remove the tumor. The omission of tumor nodules during surgery is also a factor in tumor recurrence. Modern techniques such as the X-ray knife and gamma knife can also be used for treatment, which usually requires radiotherapy and chemotherapy.
