Question

The sister has worked hard to give birth to a child, who is now three years old, but has been diagnosed with a brain tumor. How should a brain tumor in a three-year-old child be treated?

Answer

A brain tumor, also known as encephalomalacia, is a syndrome characterized by motor and postural impairments caused by damaged or injured brain tissue. It often accompanies symptoms such as epilepsy, intellectual disability, and language disorders. Early treatment tends to be more effective, and it is recommended that diagnosis be conducted by a neurologist followed by referral to a rehabilitation treatment department. Early intervention is crucial for better disease control. For patients with brain tumors, consuming protein-rich foods can help maintain brain function.
