Child Nutrition and Development

Pediatric brain tumours are uncontrolled growths of unusual cells that appear in a child's mind or the tissue and systems that may be adjacent to it. There are numerous types of paediatric brain tumours, some of which are noncancerous (benign) and some of which are cancerous (malignant). Treatment and the risk of retrieval (prognosis) are determined by the type of tumour, its function in the brain, whether or not it has a blowout, and your child's age and overall health. Because new treatments and technological advancements are constantly being developed, a variety of options in treatment and diagnosis are available.

• Choroid plexus tumors
• Neurofibroma/plexiform neurofibroma
• Ependymoma and myxopapillary ependymoma
• Primitive neuroectodermal tumors
• Medulloblastoma
• Germ line tumors of the mind
