At IBS Hospital, we specialize in the precise surgical treatment of intraventricular tumors. Our experienced surgeons utilize state-of-the-art techniques to ensure optimal outcomes, focusing on patient-centered care and recovery.
Intraventricular tumors, as the name suggests, originate within the brain’s ventricles, which are hollow cavities filled with cerebrospinal fluid. Also known as ventricular tumors, they are generally non-malignant. These tumors can grow in size, potentially restricting the flow of cerebrospinal fluid by obstructing the ventricles. There are several different types of intraventricular tumors, including colloid cysts, central neurocytomas, meningiomas, and choroid plexus tumors.
The most common symptoms associated with Intraventricular Tumors to be aware of include:
Intraventricular tumors originate from glial cells. The exact cause is unknown, but abnormal genetic mutations are thought to play a role. These mutations disrupt normal cell division, causing cells to multiply uncontrollably and form a mass known as a tumor. Typically, the immune system identifies and eliminates abnormal cells. However, tumors release chemicals that prevent the patient’s immune system from targeting them.
Common diagnostic methods for detecting Intraventricular Tumors include:
The treatment of intraventricular tumors is determined by various factors, including the tumor’s type, grade, location, and size. The primary goal of treatment is to alleviate brain pressure by draining cerebrospinal fluid. Surgical resection may be performed to carefully remove the tumor while preserving the surrounding tissues and structures. At IBS Hospital, we provide a comprehensive range of advanced techniques and innovative approaches to support our treatments. Our experts develop tailored treatment plans for our patients, considering their unique needs and requirements.
Meet the team of highly specialised and experienced neurosurgeons, neurologists, orthopedicians, and other experts in the field of neurology and spine care. Our team is dedicated to providing personalised and compassionate care to each patient, with the goal of helping them achieve the best possible outcomes.
We continuously incorporate cutting-edge technologies from around the world into our offerings, such as a surgical system that allows for precise and confident complex procedures. We use magnetic stimulation to treat certain neurological conditions and create personalised brain maps for tailored treatment plans. Nerve monitoring during surgeries ensures the nervous system is not compromised, and a robotic exoskeleton aids in mobility issues. Our goal at IBS Hospital is to provide the best care possible, utilising the latest and most innovative technologies available.
