Question
How to treat pediatric brain calcification?
Answer
Brain calcification is typically a sign of healed tuberculosis foci or hardened brain tissue. Unless there are symptoms of neural compression, it usually does not require treatment. If there are compression symptoms, blood-activating drugs are generally used first, and if the effect is not satisfactory, surgery can be considered.Brain calcification spots need to be differentiated from physiological diseases first. Adults have four physiological calcification spots in the brain: the pineal gland, the choroid plexus, the globus pallidus, and the dentate nucleus. Necrosis of tumors can also cause calcification.Brain vascular sclerosis can also show calcification.
