Patient's question:
The child is 9 years old this year and was diagnosed with a spinal canal tumor last year. They have seen doctors in multiple hospitals. None of them could treat it. Now the child suffers from severe headaches every morning.Doctor's answer:
A cerebellar pontine angle tumor is located at the base of the skull, it is a benign tumor with slow growth, and headache is the most common symptom. Clinical diagnosis is mainly based on neurological symptoms and typical imaging changes.Opinion and suggestions: Treatment is primarily surgical, but it is located at the base of the skull, deep in position, surrounded by important blood vessels, nerves, and the brainstem, making it often difficult to remove completely, with a possibility of recurrence.
