Ependymoma in Adults treatment in Metepec

Ependymoma in adults is an uncommon tumor that originates in the ependymal cells, those that line the ventricles of the brain and the central canal of the spinal cord. It can appear inside the skull or along the spine.

Possible symptoms: They depend on its location; they may include headache, nausea, balance disturbances or, when it is in the spinal cord, back pain and changes in strength or sensation of the extremities.

When to seek care? When these symptoms are persistent or progressive and have no clear explanation, they warrant specialized study.

Which specialist treats it? The neurosurgeon is the right professional to evaluate and plan the management of this type of tumor, in coordination with other specialists. If you have neurological signs that concern you, consulting in time allows for an appropriate approach.
