T he Human brain is by far the most complex structure to be ever build. Its complexity has dazzled majority of the people since last century and is still the topic of research. The adult brain weighs about 1.3 – 1.5 kg and is approximately 2% of or total body weight, with Surface area of approximately 1120 cc in males and 1130 cc in females. In spite of its small size it contains millions and billions of neurons that carry out daily functions of the body and may be create someone like Einstein whose brain is still preserved for research purposes. The basic functional unit of brain is called as a neuron. It is a specialised type of cell that has the capacity to conduct and transfer electrical impulses, but once damaged can take years to regenerate. There are various types of neurons and are classified according to – A)   The number of dendrites/processes B)    The length of axons According to number of processes they are 1.  ...

Image
 Telovelar approach is carried out for the removal of any pathology that is present inside the 4th ventricle or the rhomboid fossa of the brain. The Space seen here behind the cerebellum is the rhomboid fossa (Fossa is just a trench or a channel). This rhomboid fossa forms a part of the 4th ventricle, which is connected to the third ventricle above by cerebral aqueduct and then runs downwards into the spinal cord as the central canal of the spinal cord, carrying the CSF (CerebroSpinal Fluid). The part behind the PONS and between the white core of cerebellum is called as the 4th ventricle. {For more information on anatomy of brain, please refer to our another blog on BRAIN}

Especially those who have seen neurological cancers; their whole life is centred around that person.  Early diagnosed cancers are a blessing because they can be treated surgically or by drugs, but those that are asymptomatic for a long period of time and then occur suddenly with clinical presentation, are most problematic as people tend to lose the functionality of the part where it occurs, or they either die because of the severity, but a few survive by battling it, and pediatric age group is most important age group where a cancer can mean life and death situation. Pediatric cancers generally occur in bone, blood or CNS. Majority of them occur in form of leukaemia, lymphoma, or Bone marrow pathology, sometimes osteosarcoma may ...
