Children behave abnormally, parents should not take it lightly! A girl in Taiwan had abnormal eye closure and drooping eyelids for nearly a year. Her family members did not take it seriously until she developed headache and vomiting 2 days before she was admitted to the hospital for medical treatment. After being admitted to the hospital, the girl continued to vomit following taking antiemetic drugs. During the hospitalization, she developed symptoms such as stiffness, convulsions, epileptic coma, etc. It was finally revealed that she had a left temporal lobe brain tumor hemorrhage, and she needed to be urgently referred to neurosurgery for surgery. The girl underwent resection , the situation has stabilized. The doctor sighed that the relatives have been ignoring the symptoms, but in fact they can be diagnosed and treated earlier.

Taiwanese pediatrician Huang Shilun recently posted on his personal Facebook page “Dr. Heron x Health Consulting” above, referring to a 7-year-old girl who was usually taken care of by her parents-in-law. She sought medical treatment for 2 days due to headache and vomiting. During the treatment period, she continued to vomit following taking antiemetics, and her hands and wrists were stiff and cramped for nearly 3 hours. Relatives and friends pointed out that the girl’s appetite has recently deteriorated, she hardly eats, and her energy and activity have also declined. In the past year, she also experienced abnormal eye closure and drooping eyelids. However, the parents did not care regarding it, so they did not seek medical attention. The doctor lamented that the eye abnormality that the girl’s relatives had been ignoring was actually a clue that the girl might be diagnosed and treated early.
Dr. Huang revealed that the initial blood test report in the hospital showed that the inflammation index was normal, so the initial diagnosis was extrapyramidal reaction and acute gastritis; Up to 6 points. Finally, following a computerized tomography scan of the brain, it was diagnosed as “left temporal lobe brain tumor hemorrhage”. The hospital immediately intubated the girl for emergency treatment, and urgently referred the girl to neurosurgery for surgery.
The doctor explained that the blood pressure from the brain tumor forced the girl’s left ventricle, causing the girl’s brain pressure to increase, and some symptoms such as headache and vomiting occurred. The girl was then arranged for a brain tumor resection operation, but the surgeon pointed out that some tumor cells still remained, and radiation therapy would be considered later. At present, the girl has been transferred to the general ward, where she can eat and talk normally. The doctor pointed out that following actively cooperating with the treatment, the cure rate is expected to reach 90%.
7 major tumor locations and symptoms
The structure of the brain is complex. Dr. Huang pointed out that brain tumors grow in different parts and have different local neurological symptoms. Therefore, it is not easy to diagnose. Generally, it can be divided into the following 7 major locations and symptoms:
- Tumor squeezing cerebellum:The balance system is affected, walking is shaky, and hand coordination is reduced, such as hand tremors and inability to grasp objects accurately.
- Located in the brainstem:Double vision, strabismus, facial incoordination, hearing impairment, easy throat choking when swallowing, hoarse voice, poor conversation, and inflexible hands and feet.
- Located around the pituitary gland:Cause endocrine dysfunction, precocious puberty, diabetes insipidus.
- Located in the front lobe of the brain:Cause personality changes, memory loss, mood changes.
- Located in the optic nerve path:Vision and field of vision are affected, the eyeballs tremble involuntarily, and it is difficult to focus.
- Located near the hypothalamus: Appetite is affected, but no matter whether the appetite is good or bad, the child is very thin and looks as if he is malnourished. This is the most important feature.
- Located in the cerebral cortex:This is the peripheral nerve tissue of the brain, often without any neurological symptoms, but presented as epileptic seizures.

According to the doctor, in addition to the abnormal symptoms mentioned above, if parents find the following 5 symptoms in their children, it may also be the initial sign of a brain tumor, which can be further checked and judged by a hematological oncologist:
