is protective layers of tissue that cover the brain and spinal cord

A

Meninges

26
Q

arise from the pituitary gland, a small endocrine gland at the base of the brain. These tumors can be benign (most common) or malignant and affect the production of various hormones.

A

Pituitary tumors

26
Q

is small structure at the base of the brain and responsible to produce oh hormones that regulate of many body functions these hormones are the functioning produce excess hormones or non-functioning not producing hormones

A

Pituitary gland

26
Q

Pituitary Tumors Symptoms:

A

hormonal imbalances: depending on the type of hormones that secrete of tumor that increase growthbhirmones leading to acromegaly or increase or prolactin causing infertility, and

mass effect symptoms: headaches, vision problems and fatigue

26
Q

Also known as Pituitary Adenomas

A

Pituitary tumors

26

tumor that They are most common in children but can also occur in adults.

A

Medulloblastomas

26
Q

types of Pituitary Tumors

A

Pituitary adenomas (the most common type)

Craniopharyngiomas (benign tumors that arise near the pituitary).

26
Q

Medulloblastoma Symptoms:

A

because of they often block the passage of cerebrospinal fluid having a pressure in brain structures and symptoms is headache, usually happen in morning more severe, nausea, vomiting, ataxia (lack of coordination or balance), changes in speech, swallowing, in childrens is developmental delays

26
Q

are malignant brain tumors that typically arise in the cerebellum, the part of the brain responsible for motor control, coordination and balance.

A

Medulloblastomas

26
Q

Schwannomas (also called neurilemmomas) are benign tumors that develop from WHAT, which are responsible for producing the myelin sheath around peripheral nerves.

A

Schwann cells

26
Q

which are responsible for producing the myelin sheath around peripheral nerves

A

Schwann cells

26
Q

Schwannomas (also called

A

neurilemmomas

26
Q

are benign tumors that develop from Schwann cells, which are responsible for producing the myelin sheath around peripheral nerves.

A

Schwannomas (also called neurilemmomas

26
Q

typically occur on cranial nerves (especially vestibulocochlear nerve, leading to acoustic neuromas) or on spinal nerves.

A

Schwannomas

26
Q

Schwannomas typically occur on cranial nerves (especially WHAT nerve, leading to acoustic neuromas) or on spinal nerves.

A

vestibulocochlear nerve

26
Q

Schwannomas typically occur on cranial nerves (especially vestibulocochlear nerve, leading to WHAT) or on spinal nerves.

A

acoustic neuromas

27
Q

Schwannomas

Treatment:

A

3 (observation, surgery and radiation therapy) if the tumor is small causing symptoms maybe in observation, if the tumor is cause significant symptoms or growing maybe surgery, if the tumor is severe radiation therapy is the option

27
Q

are spinal cord tumors that develop within the spinal cord itself, typically arising from glial cells or neurons.

A

intramedullary tumors

27
Q

Intramedullary Tumors Symptoms:

A

back pain, or localize pain at the tumor site, weakness, numbness, or paralysis limbs, or loss coordination or balance or bladder or bowel dysfunction if the tumor if affect the spinalization

27
Q

types of Intramedullary Tumors

A

pendymomas (from ependymal cells lining the spinal cord’s central canal),

Astrocytomas (from astrocytes).

27
Q

Extramedullary tumors are spinal tumors that develop outside the WHAT, typically in the meninges (covering of the spinal cord) or from nerve roots.

A

outside the spinal cord but within spinal canal

27
Q

are spinal tumors that develop outside the spinal cord but within spinal caanl, typically in the meninges (covering of the spinal cord) or from nerve roots. They are often benign but can cause significant symptoms due to compression of the spinal cord or nerves.

A

Extramedullary tumors

28
Q

Extramedullary tumors are spinal tumors that develop outside the spinal cord but within spinal canal, typically in WHAT

A

the meninges (covering of the spinal cord) or from nerve roots
