The third ventricle tumor Diagnosis, Treatment

Diagnosis for The third ventricle tumor use some tests include:

1. Skull X-ray: the third ventricle tumor skull X-ray only shows signs of intracranial hypertension.

2. Lumbar puncture and cerebrospinal fluid test: patients increased intracranial pressure, cerebrospinal fluid protein content and sodium content increased.

3. Electroencephalogram examination: general non-specific abnormal EEG changes, show only the performance of increased intracranial pressure, midline structural damage may be paroxysmal and sometimes 5 to 7 times / s high rate is slow.

4. Intraventricular angiography: in the third ventricle tumors is of special significance to the inspection. Ventricular angiography can be seen on both sides of the symmetry of the expansion of lateral ventricles, third ventricle may sometimes develop. The third ventricle can be seen filling defect and affect the tumor tissue. The third ventricle in the imaging room or not the decision has been blocked between the holes.
