Meningioma in Children
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Meningioma in children is a tumor that originates in the meninges, the layers that cover the brain and spinal cord. Although it is more common in adults, it can also occur in childhood, where it warrants careful evaluation.
Possible manifestations: Depending on its location and size, it can cause persistent headache, changes in vision, seizures, or alterations in the child's behavior or development.
When to pay attention? Neurological symptoms that appear and persist in a child warrant a review, since they guide the search for their origin.
Appropriate care: The pediatrician initially evaluates the child and coordinates the participation of the necessary specialists for the study of the nervous system. When faced with signs that cause concern, the advisable course is to consult in a timely manner.
