6-year-old Xiao Wen is a lively little boy, he should have stayed in the same kindergarten with other children and enjoys a happy childhood. But since last year he has been diagnosed with bilateral intraventricular tumors, lesions, the small boy only was companied with hospital bed, operating table,drugs and tolerated the pain caused by the disease. But recently, the fate of the small boy turned over with the help of Lu Ming Director and other doctors' efforts of neurosurgery in Guangdong 999 Brain Hospital, his tumors in callosum area of bilateral intraventricular were perfectly cut off. Now He is on the way to recover and practical walk step by step ... ... http://www.sdhxxclgs.com/
Xiao Wen felt dizzy and had a headache in 2009, he was diagnosed with "bilateral intraventricular footprint" in a People's Hospital,then conducted a craniotomy, part of tumor was cut off, postoperative findings showed "gliomas" ( WHO Ⅲ level). In order to get better treatment, his family sent Xiao Wen to another hospital for treatment.At this time, the hospital had line of X knife radiation therapy on him, during the two months, Xiao Wen's condition was improved, headache and dizziness disappeared when he discharged, meanwhile, his body was able to move freely.
But bad luck didn't end, for the tumor wasn't completely removed at first surgery , more than 10 days ago, Xiao Wen felt dizzy and had a headache again with intermittent vomiting, walking had become unstable. His family immediately sent him to a local hospital for symptomatic treatment, but treatment was not satisfactory that his condition got worse, he was in a worse state of consciousness, no response and he could not eat, sometimes his left limb twithed. http://www.sdhxxclgs.com/
Pain and illness made the small boy become more thin that his parents looked at the son in bed and their hearts broke, especially his mother, crying all day. "He is our only son, we must save him even if it will cost our all!"
To seek further treatment, his family sent him to the fifth section of the department of neurosurgery in Guangdong 999 Brain Hospital. Admitting the hospital, Xiao Wen took MRI examination which was"bilateral intraventricular space occupying corpus callosum, obstructive hydrocephalus", tumor size was about 4 * 5 cm. "A very serious illness, tumor recured." Lu Ming Director said to Xiao Wen's parents seriously. Heard the word "serious", his parents became very worride. Poor parents like them! Like the "death sentence" diagnosis results had made the early 30s woman suffer from big pain, but also made her stronger. " Doctor, you must help us, save my son! Anyway, he was 6 years old !" She had burst into tears when she was saying. http://www.sdhxxclgs.com/
After admitting, Lu Ming Director of fifth section of department of neurological organized medical team on his condition and decided to surgery. But at the same time, they also concluded that there were several difficulties in operation: first, the brain tumor was a little big that had diameter of 4cm. It would leave bad wound and the time for operating was long, and there were some operating difficulties; Second, the patient was so young that it would recured more rapidly after the first surgery. His body may not be able to accept the wounds of two major operations in such a short time; Third, the patient had a poor physical condition when he admitted with bad awareness and no response, twitched sometimes. To solve the above problems, Lu Ming Director and his team made the program that they cut the tumor under a microscope, thay also made surgical program for the situation might occur in surgery. Before surgery, doctors told his parents the risks of the surgery, giving them a "boost" at the same time to the "assurance": "Surgery is very hard, the risk is great, but we will try our best but also have some experience to follow. "" We believe you! Believe your skill! Believe your experience! "Xiao Wen's father said,holding doctor's hand tightly .
On September 3, Xiao Wen received "bilateral intraventricular tumor resection" under general anesthesia. According to Lu Ming Director's introduction, the intraoperative brain swelling could be seen clearly, the tension was higher, we saw subcortical tumor tissue like fish; ventricle opening, tumor growth induced by transparent and the right ventricle septum. Surgery under a microscope, block by block in the separation of the tumor and complete resection of the tumor, surgery went on well and the pathological results was anaplastic ependymoma (WHOIII level). http://www.sdhxxclgs.com/
Lu Ming Director of fifth section of department of neurosurgery introduced the characteristic of brain microsurgery was using an operation microscope equipment to expand their horizon and to complete resection of meningiomas, effectively avoided the damage of brain and brain tissue . However, the operator of microsurgical techniques and technology must be highly skilled assistants, and the operation was to be steady, accurate, light, no superb technical skill and rich experience in clinical surgery was difficult to carry out such operations.
The surgery is very successful, and now Xiao Wen is in very good health under the medical care, having good spiritual appetite, but also can be active out of bed. Seeing the dying son coming back as usual, his parents frequently thanks to the medical staff. http://www.sdhxxclgs.com/

Lu Ming Director said: ependymomas from the ventricle and central canal ependymal cells or brain white matter, ependymal cell nests of the central nervous system tumors. It occurs more on men than women, more common on children and young people. More ependymoma in the brain room, a small number of tumors are in the brain tissues of the main. Anaplastic ependymoma ependymal origin of malignant glioma, especially children, the tumor grow rapidly with poor clinical course. Anaplastic ependymoma mitotic activity, often accompanied by angiogenesis and false palisading necrosis.
As the anaplastic ependymomas grow tumor more rapidly, while patients have a shorter stage, about 40% of patients will occuer symptoms. Tumor located in the septum pellucidum, Monro hole, aqueduct, fourth ventricle and spinal cord are a common cause of symptoms. Mainly for patients with headache, blurred vision, ataxia, memory loss, brain symptoms, nystagmus, dizziness, and nausea and vomiting. 88% of the patients had hydrocephalus. http://www.sdhxxclgs.com/
Radical surgery is the major initiatives of the subependymal ependymoma. With the neurosurgery technology, operative mortality is almost 0. As Subependymal ependymoma showed expansive growth, boundary definition, the majority of tumor removal can be achieved. For the tumor growth site deep in, it is difficult to achieve tumor were totally removed, subtotal resection can get good treatment.
