Overview
Surgery is the mainstay of treatment for glioma.[1]
Surgery
Surgery is the mainstay of treatment for glioma.[1]
- The aim of surgery is to:
- Make a definitive diagnosis
- debulking the tumor will relieve the features of raised intracranial pressure
- Reduce the tumor mass as a precursor to adjuvant treatments
CSF shunts: Done to relieve the pressure in the brain due to blockade in the flow of cerebrospinal fluid due to gliomatosis cerebri.
- External ventricular drain
- Temporary drain
- Internal drain
- Permanent drain
- Drains CSF into the patient’s abdomen, where it is absorbed into the body
