How to deal with a brain tumor and hydrocephalus?

Patient's question:

A 4-year-old girl has been diagnosed with a brain tumor and hydrocephalus. She has now lost most of her sensation in her hands and feet. Is there still hope for her?

Doctor's answer:

Given the patient's condition, first, appropriate dehydration and hypotensive treatment can be used for hydrocephalus. At the same time, local precise radiotherapy for brain tumors can fundamentally control the condition, reduce intracranial pressure elevation, and prevent the occurrence of hydrocephalus. Currently, the patient's symptoms are mainly caused by the brain tumor. Therefore, to fundamentally alleviate the symptoms, local treatment of the tumor is necessary. I don't know when you found out. Let's see what the doctor recommends for treatment.
