Brain Tumors

Pediatric Brain Tumor Treatment in Bangladesh: Pediatric brain tumors are abnormal growths of cells within the brain or surrounding structures of children. These tumors can be benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous), but both types can affect a child’s development, neurological function, and overall quality of life. In Bangladesh, the number of diagnosed pediatric brain tumor cases is rising, owing to improved awareness, diagnostic facilities, and neuroimaging access. However, early detection and expert neurosurgical care remain the most critical factors for improving survival and recovery outcomes.
Common Types of Pediatric Brain Tumors Treated by Dr. Nafaur Rahman: Medulloblastoma – The most common malignant brain tumor in children, usually located in the cerebellum. Pilocytic Astrocytoma – A slow-growing benign tumor often found in the cerebellum or optic pathway. Ependymoma – Tumors that arise from the lining of the brain’s ventricles; often require surgical removal and radiotherapy. Craniopharyngioma – Benign but challenging due to their proximity to the optic nerves and pituitary gland. Brainstem Glioma – These can be either low-grade or high-grade and are difficult to treat due to their location. Pineal Tumors – Tumors in the pineal gland region, including germ cell tumors and pineoblastomas. Optic Pathway Glioma – Common in children with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1). 🏥 Comprehensive Treatment Approach by Dr. Md.
