Question
Other children at this age can walk, but my son still can’t grasp things with his hands; rolling over is more difficult for him, and he can’t stand normally. When he looks at things, he always tilts his head, and his gaze seems dull. Later, he was diagnosed with a brain tumor in the hospital. What are the symptoms of congenital brain tumors in children?
Answer
The symptoms of infantile brain tumors are not obvious, and many parents cannot detect them. Especially in the first 6 months after a child is born, because the child is still very young, some crying is considered normal by many parents. However, some are early manifestations of brain tumors. If the symptoms of the brain tumor are very obvious without intervention, it is not easy to treat. So, what are the manifestations of infantile brain tumors?
- Weakness and decreased spontaneous movement. This is a symptom of hypotonia that can be seen within a month. If it persists for more than 4 months, it can be diagnosed as severe brain damage, intellectual disability, or muscular system disease.
- Inability to laugh: If you cannot laugh for 2 months or 4 months, it can be diagnosed as intellectual disability.
