Treatment

Side effects

Children with cerebellar pilocytic astrocytoma may experience side effects related to the tumor itself and related to the treatment.

• Symptoms related to increased pressure in the brain often disappear after surgical removal of the tumor.
• Effects on coordination and balance improved and might progressively (to completely) disappear as recovery progresses.
• Steroid-treatment is often used to control tissue swelling that may occur pre- and post-operatively.
