Question
My brother’s child has a pediatric brain tumor, showing significant differences in intelligence, language, and motor skills. I would like to understand more about pediatric brain tumors.
Answer
Pediatric brain atrophy is a group of non-progressive symptoms that occur early in childhood, primarily characterized by limitations in the central nervous system’s muscle function, including limb spasms, abnormal posture control, and uncontrolled movements. It may also be accompanied by other issues such as epilepsy, intellectual disabilities, language, and visual problems. While there is a lack of accurate data in our country, international reports indicate that approximately 1.5‰ to 5‰ of live births may be affected by this condition.
