Neoplasm of the brain, microbial code 10. Brain tumors - description, symptoms (signs), diagnosis, treatment

brain tumors- a heterogeneous group of neoplasms for which a common feature is the presence or secondary penetration into the cranial cavity. Histogenesis is variable and is reflected in the WHO histological classification (see below). There are 9 main types of CNS tumors. A: neuroepithelial tumors. B: meningeal tumors. C: tumors from cranial and spinal nerves. D: tumors of the hematopoietic series. E: germ cell tumors. F: cysts and tumor-like formations. G: Tumors of the sella turcica. H: local spread of tumors from adjacent anatomical regions. I: Metastatic tumors.

Code according to the international classification of diseases ICD-10:

Epidemiology. Given the heterogeneity of the concept of "brain tumor", accurate generalized statistical data are not available. It is known that CNS tumors in children take the second place among all malignant neoplasms (after leukemia) and the first in the group of solid tumors.

Classification. Basic working classification used to develop treatment tactics and determine the prognosis is the WHO classification for tumors of the central nervous system.

Cancer. metastatic tumors. Unclassified tumors

Symptoms (signs)

Clinical picture. Most common symptoms brain tumors - progressive neurological deficit (68%), headaches (50%), epileptic seizures (26%). The clinical picture mainly depends on the localization of the tumor and, to a lesser extent, on its histological characteristics. Supratentorial hemispheric tumors. Signs of increased ICP due to mass effect and edema (headaches, congestive discs optic nerves, impaired consciousness) .. Epileptiform seizures .. Focal neurological deficit (depending on location) .. Personality changes (most characteristic of frontal lobe tumors) .. Supratentorial midline tumors.. Hydrocephalic syndrome (headache, nausea/vomiting, impaired consciousness, Parino syndrome, congestive optic discs) .. Diencephalic disorders (obesity/wasting, thermoregulatory disorders diabetes insipidus) .. Visual and endocrine disorders in tumors of the chiasmal-sellar region. Subtentorial tumors.. Hydrocephalic syndrome (headache, nausea/vomiting, impaired consciousness, congestive optic discs).. Cerebellar disorders.. Diplopia, gross nystagmus, dizziness.. Isolated vomiting as a sign of impact on the medulla oblongata. Tumors of the base of the skull. Often asymptomatic for a long time and only in the later stages cause neuropathy of the cranial nerves, conduction disorders (hemiparesis, hemihypesthesia) and hydrocephalus.

Diagnostics

Diagnostics. With the help of CT and / or MRI at the preoperative stage, it is possible to confirm the diagnosis of a brain tumor, its exact location and extent, as well as the presumptive histological structure. For tumors of the posterior cranial fossa and the base of the skull, MRI is more preferable due to the absence of artifacts from the bones of the base (the so-called beam - hardering artifacts). Angiography (both direct and MR - and CT - angiography) is performed in rare cases to clarify the features of the blood supply to the tumor.

Treatment

Treatment. Therapeutic tactics depends on the exact histological diagnosis, the following options are possible:. observation. surgical resection. resection in combination with radiation and/or chemotherapy. biopsy (usually stereotaxic) in combination with radiation and / or chemotherapy. biopsy and observation. radiation and / or chemotherapy without tissue verification based on the results of CT / MRI and the study of tumor markers.

Forecast depends mainly on the histological structure of the tumor. Without exception, all patients operated on for brain tumors need regular MRI / CT follow-up studies due to the risk of recurrence or continued tumor growth (even in cases of radically removed benign tumors).

ICD-10. C71 malignant neoplasm brain. D33 Benign neoplasm of the brain and other parts of the central nervous system

The term " vascular malformations of the CNS» combines several non-tumor vascular lesions of the CNS. McCormick in 1966 identified 4 types of vascular malformations: . Arteriovenous malformation. Cavernous angioma. Venous angioma. capillary telangiectasia.

Code according to the international classification of diseases ICD-10:

D18.0

The reasons

Genetic Aspects. There are several types of CNS vascular malformations, such as type 1 (*116860, 7q11.2-q21, defects in the CCM1, CAM genes). Clinically: cavernous angioma of the brain, intracranial hemorrhage, focal neurological symptoms, migraine, acute chiasmal syndrome, angiomas of the retina, skin, liver, cavernous angiomas of soft tissues.

X-ray: cavernous malformations on MRI, intracranial calcification. Synonyms: cavernous familial angioma, hemangioma of cavernous malformations of the central nervous system and retina, cavernous angiomatous malformations.

Symptoms (signs)

Clinical picture. Seizures or headache (most common). Progressive neurological deficit (usually as a result of spontaneous intracranial hemorrhage).

Diagnostics

Diagnostics. Angiography. Sometimes, vascular malformations of the CNS cannot be angiographically detected due to obliteration of vessels after bleeding, slow blood flow, and the small size of pathological vessels. CT and MRI.
Operational treatment(indicated mainly for hematoma evacuation and rebleeding).

ICD-10. D18.0 Hemangioma of any location

Under the tumor it is customary to understand all neoplasms of the brain, that is, benign and malignant. This disease is included in international classification diseases, each of which is assigned a code, brain tumor code according to ICD 10: C71 stands for malignant tumor, and D33 benign neoplasm brain and other parts of the central nervous system.

Since this disease belongs to oncology, the causes of brain cancer, as well as other diseases in this category, are still unknown. But there is a theory that experts in this field adhere to. It is based on multifactoriality - brain cancer can develop under the influence of several factors at the same time, hence the name of the theory. The most common factors include:

Main symptoms

The following symptoms and disorders may indicate the presence of a brain tumor (ICD code 10):

an increase in the volume of the medulla, and subsequently an increase in intracranial pressure;
cephalgic syndrome, which is accompanied by the presence of a severe headache, especially in the morning and during a change in body position, as well as vomiting;
systemic dizziness. It differs from the usual topics that the patient feels that the objects surrounding him are rotating. The cause of such an ailment is a violation of the blood supply, that is, when the blood cannot circulate normally and enter the brain;
violation of the processes of perception of the surrounding world by the brain;
failures of the musculoskeletal function, the development of paralysis - localization depends on the area of brain damage;
epileptic and convulsive seizures;
violation of the organs of speech and hearing: speech becomes slurred and incomprehensible, and instead of sounds, only noise is heard;
loss of concentration, complete confusion, and other symptoms are also possible.

Brain tumor: stages

Cancer stages are classified according to clinical signs and there are only 4 of them. In the first stage, the most common symptoms appear, for example, headaches, weakness and dizziness. Since these symptoms cannot directly indicate the presence of cancer, even doctors cannot detect cancer on early stage. However, a small chance of detection still remains; cases of cancer detection during computer diagnostics are not uncommon.

Tumor of the temporal lobe of the brain

In the second stage, the symptoms are more pronounced, in addition, patients have impaired vision and coordination of movements. Most effective method detection of a brain tumor is an MRI. At this stage, in 75% of cases, a positive outcome is possible as a result of surgery.

The third stage is characterized by impaired vision, hearing and motor function, fever, fatigue. At this stage, the disease penetrates deep into and begins to destroy The lymph nodes and tissues, and then spreads to other organs.

The fourth stage of brain cancer is glioblastoma, which is the most aggressive and dangerous form of the disease, it is diagnosed in 50% of cases. Glioblastoma of the brain has an ICD code of 10 - C71.9 is characterized as a multiform disease. This neoplasm of the brain belongs to the subgroup astrocytic. It usually develops as a result of the transformation of a benign tumor into a malignant one.

Ways to treat brain cancer

Unfortunately, cancer is one of the most dangerous diseases and difficult to treat, especially oncology of the brain. However, there are methods that can stop the further destruction of cells, and they are successfully used in medicine. The most famous among them

An earlier manifestation of the cerebral tumor process is focal symptoms. It can have the following mechanisms of development: chemical and physical effects on the surrounding cerebral tissues, damage to the wall of a cerebral vessel with hemorrhage, vascular occlusion by a metastatic embolus, hemorrhage into a metastasis, compression of the vessel with the development of ischemia, compression of the roots or cranial nerve trunks. Moreover, at first there are symptoms of local irritation of a certain cerebral area, and then there is a loss of its function (neurological deficit).
As tumor growth, compression, edema and ischemia spread first to the tissues adjacent to the affected area, and then to more distant structures, causing the appearance of symptoms "nearby" and "at a distance", respectively. Cerebral symptoms due to intracranial hypertension and cerebral edema, develops later. With a significant amount of cerebral tumor, a mass effect (displacement of the main brain structures) is possible with the development of a dislocation syndrome - herniation of the cerebellum and medulla oblongata into the foramen magnum.
Headache of a local nature can be early symptom tumors. It occurs due to irritation of receptors localized in cranial nerves, venous sinuses, walls of meningeal vessels. Diffuse cephalgia is noted in 90% of cases of subtentorial neoplasms and in 77% of cases of supratentorial tumor processes. It has the character of deep, rather intense and bursting pain, often paroxysmal.
Vomiting is usually a cerebral symptom. Its main feature is the lack of connection with food intake. With a tumor of the cerebellum or IV ventricle, it is associated with a direct effect on the vomiting center and may be the primary focal manifestation.
Systemic dizziness can occur in the form of a feeling of falling, rotation of one's own body or surrounding objects. During the manifestation clinical manifestations dizziness is considered as a focal symptom indicating tumor involvement of the vestibulocochlear nerve, pons, cerebellum, or IV ventricle.
Movement disorders (pyramidal disorders) occur as primary tumor symptoms in 62% of patients. In other cases, they occur later due to the growth and spread of the tumor. Increasing anisoreflexia of tendon reflexes from the extremities is one of the earliest manifestations of pyramidal insufficiency. Then there is muscle weakness (paresis), accompanied by spasticity due to muscle hypertonicity.
Sensory disturbances mainly accompany pyramidal insufficiency. They are clinically manifested in about a quarter of patients, in other cases they are detected only during a neurological examination. As a primary focal symptom, a disorder of the musculo-articular feeling can be considered.
Convulsive syndrome is more typical for supratentorial neoplasms. In 37% of patients with cerebral tumors, epileptic seizures are manifest clinical symptom. The occurrence of absence seizures or generalized tonic-clonic epileptic seizures is more typical for midline tumors; paroxysms of the type of Jacksonian epilepsy - for neoplasms located near the cerebral cortex. The nature of the epileptic aura often helps to establish the topic of the lesion. As the neoplasm grows, generalized epileptic seizures are transformed into partial ones. With the progression of intracranial hypertension, as a rule, a decrease in epiactivity is observed.
Disorders of the mental sphere during the manifestation period occur in 15-20% of cases of cerebral tumors, mainly when they are located in the frontal lobe. Lack of initiative, carelessness and apathy are typical for tumors of the pole of the frontal lobe. Euphoria, self-satisfaction, unreasonable gaiety indicate the defeat of the basis of the frontal lobe. In such cases, the progression of the tumor process is accompanied by an increase in aggressiveness, malice, and negativism. visual hallucinations characteristic of neoplasms located at the junction of the temporal and frontal lobes. Mental disorders in the form of a progressive deterioration of memory, impaired thinking and attention, they act as general cerebral symptoms, since they are caused by growing intracranial hypertension, tumor intoxication, and damage to the associative tracts.
Congestive optic discs are diagnosed in half of patients more often in later stages, but in children they can serve as the debut symptom of a tumor. Due to the increased intracranial pressure transient blurred vision or "flies" before the eyes may appear. With the progression of the tumor, there is an increasing deterioration in vision associated with atrophy of the optic nerves.
Changes in visual fields occur when the chiasm and optic tracts are affected. In the first case, heteronymous hemianopsia is observed (loss of opposite halves of the visual fields), in the second - homonymous (loss of both right or both left halves in the visual fields).

Causes of cavernous angioma

Cavernous angioma can be congenital or sporadic. The pathogenesis of the congenital type of the disease is considered more studied. At the moment, there is evidence of an autosomal dominant type of inheritance, and certain genes of the seventh chromosome have been found and identified, which, when modified, cause the formation of pathological vascular bundles.

Experiments with the discovered genes demonstrated that the formation of cavernous angiomas is predetermined by a disorder in the formation of endothelial cell structures. It is assumed that the proteins encoded by certain genes function in one direction.

The causes of sporadic angiomas have not yet been identified. There are only theoretical conjectures put forward by many scientists. However, there is currently no clear evidence for such theories:

the theory of radioinduced formations that arose as a result of irradiation;
immuno-inflammatory, infectious theory of pathology.

Pathogenesis

The diameter of angiomas can vary greatly - from a few millimeters to several centimeters. The most common type of formation has a size of about 20-30 mm.

Malformation can be localized in any of the areas of the central nervous system:

80% of angiomas are located in the upper parts of the brain;
of these, 65% are located in the frontal, temporal and parietal lobes;
15% falls on the vascular formations of the thalamus, basal ganglia;
8% is cerebellar angioma;
2.5% choroid plexuses in the spinal cord.

Cavernous angioma symptoms

Symptoms of the disease mainly depend on where exactly the formation is located. One of the more characteristic features considered epileptic seizures in conjunction with acute or subacute neurological symptoms. The first signs may appear simultaneously with cerebral manifestations, as well as independently:

headache, which at first may be mild and transient, later developing into a severe one that is not eliminated by conventional medications;
convulsive seizures resembling epileptic;
sensation of noise or ringing inside the head or in the ears;
unsteady gait, motor coordination disorders;
dyspeptic disorders in the form of attacks of nausea and vomiting;
development of paralysis, weakness and numbness of the limbs;
deterioration of visual and auditory function, memory disorder, attention, speech disorder, confusion in thoughts.

Often there are cases when cavernous hemangioma does not manifest itself by any signs. A large number of people can live without even knowing about their disease. In such patients, the disease is found when diagnosing other pathologies, when conducting preventive studies, or when an angioma is detected in the next of kin.

Forms

As we have already said, the symptomatology of cavernous angioma largely depends on the location of the vascular formation and its size. Manifestations of the disease occur when a bundle of blood vessels begins to put pressure on the surrounding tissues and nerve endings in certain areas of the brain.

Cavernous angioma of the frontal lobe, in addition to standard symptoms, may be accompanied by impaired self-regulation of mental activity. The fact is that the frontal areas of the brain are responsible for motivation, setting and achieving goals, controlling one's actions and evaluating the result. In patients, memory deteriorates, handwriting changes, uncontrolled extra movements of the limbs appear.
- Cavernous angioma of the left frontal lobe gives such a symptom as a violation of the regulation of speech: a person's vocabulary becomes poor, he forgets words, while speaking extremely reluctantly; there is apathy and there is no initiative.
- Cavernous angioma of the right frontal lobe, on the contrary, is characterized by excessive speech activity. The patient can periodically enter into a state of passion, he becomes emotional and sometimes even inadequate. The mood of the patient is mostly positive - often he is not aware of the appearance of his illness.
Cavernous angioma of the left temporal lobe accompanied by hearing and speech impairments. The patient does not remember well, perceives other people's speech worse by ear. At the same time, in his speech, he often and unconsciously repeats the same words several times.

Cavernous angioma of the right temporal lobe may present with the following symptoms:

the patient ceases to determine the belonging of sounds, cannot find out the origin of this or that noise. The same goes for voices: a previously familiar voice may seem alien.

Cavernous angioma of the parietal lobe often characterized by so-called intellectual disorders. The patient loses the ability to solve simple mathematical problems, forgets the elementary rules of division, multiplication, subtraction and addition. Logic and the ability to think technically are lost.

Cavernous angioma of the cerebellum sometimes it occurs with severe symptoms - this is the uncertainty of gait and even sitting, inadequate head and body positions (strange inclinations, postures). There is a noticeable violation of speech function, nystagmus, convulsions, contractures.

Thrombosed cavernous angioma usually due infectious disease, which spreads mainly from the sinuses and nasal cavity. Symptoms are fever, weakness, hyperhidrosis, fever. All this proceeds simultaneously with the standard signs of angioma, depending on the location of the vascular formation.

There is another type of angioma that often raises questions from patients - this is cavernous angioma with an abundance of hemosiderophages. What is this about?

Hemosiderophages are specific macrophage cells, which include hemosiderin, an iron-containing pigment. The presence of these cells means the resorption process in the pathological focus: siderophages appear on the 3rd-4th day from the beginning of the process and are destroyed approximately on the 17th-18th day. Resorption is the resorption of a decaying erythrocyte mass, in which macrophages take an active part. By the degree of maturity of hemosiderophages, it is possible to determine the duration of the appearance of an inflammatory lesion in the angioma.

Complications and consequences

What consequences or complications can cause cavernous angioma? This directly depends on which part of the brain the vascular cavernoma is located, on its size, on the progression of the pathology, on the patient's lifestyle and on many other factors. If a malformation is detected too late, or an inflammatory or dystrophic process develops in it, then complications may soon arise: vascular wall, hemorrhages, an increase in vascular congestion and caverns in volume, local blood flow disorder, circulatory disorders in the brain and death.

However, sometimes a patient can live with such a pathology and be unaware of its existence. But is it worth hoping for, because cases are different, and no one is immune from unwanted manifestations of the disease. This also applies to cavernoma - this disease is unpredictable, and no one can say how it will behave in the future. Therefore, doctors unequivocally advise: even in the absence of clinical manifestations, it is important to regularly monitor the progression and condition of the vascular cavernous formation, monitor its development and periodically conduct a course preventive treatment prescribed by the doctor.

Diagnosis of cavernous angioma

Treatment of cavernoma should always begin with a complete diagnosis, the scheme of which doctors determine individually for each patient. The general diagnostic technique may include the following types of studies:

Comprehensive blood tests (for the presence of inflammatory process, anemia), as well as cerebrospinal fluid (for the presence of hemorrhages in the CSF).

Instrumental diagnostics:

angiography method - X-ray examination of blood vessels using a contrast fluid. The resulting image will help to detect the degree of narrowing or destruction of brain vessels, identifying changes in the vascular wall and identifying weaknesses. Such diagnostic procedure is prescribed to determine the circulatory disorders in the brain. It allows you to clearly determine the location, volume and shape of the angioma, as well as to detect the damaged vessel. Diagnostics is carried out in a specially equipped room. First, the doctor conducts local anesthesia, after which it penetrates the vessel with an elastic catheter and advances it to the affected area. The contrast agent introduced into the circulatory system diverges along the vascular network, after which the doctor takes several pictures, according to which the diagnosis is subsequently established;
computed tomography method is a very popular painless procedure that does not cause discomfort, and at the same time it is quite informative. It is usually performed with or without a contrast agent. As a result, the doctor receives detailed layered x-rays in the form of two-dimensional images, which allows you to examine the pathology in detail. The procedure is carried out only in special rooms with the appropriate equipment - a tomograph;
The magnetic resonance imaging technique is somewhat similar to computed tomography, however, instead of X-rays, radio waves and magnetic radiation are used here. Images are detailed, three-dimensional. The procedure is non-invasive, provides comprehensive information about the disease, but is relatively expensive;
the electroencephalography method allows you to explore the biological potentials of the brain, as well as determine where the angioma is located and what are its dimensions. In the presence of a neoplasm, the doctor detects a change in the signal sent to the brain structures.

Differential Diagnosis

Differential Diagnosis, as a rule, is carried out with other tumors, or with an aneurysm - if a rupture is suspected in a hospital, a patient is prescribed a study of cerebrospinal fluid. The analysis will detect traces of bleeding or hemorrhage in it. This procedure can only be performed in a hospital setting.

Additionally, examinations and consultations of other specialists, such as a vascular surgeon, a neurosurgeon, a neuropathologist, a geneticist, etc., can be prescribed.

Treatment of cavernous angioma

Surgical treatment- the most effective treatment option for cavernoma. There is no universal medicine that could eliminate the pathology.

The appointment of treatment is often complicated by the fact that cavernous angioma does not cause discomfort to many patients, and permanent disability is observed mainly only with repeated hemorrhages from deeply located angiomas, or from neoplasms. brain stem– areas difficult to access for surgical intervention.

However, even a benign course of the disease does not guarantee the absence of complications in the future, and a timely operation can completely eliminate the risk of negative consequences.

with superficial cavernous angiomas, which are manifested by hemorrhages or convulsive seizures;
with neoplasms that are located in the active brain areas and are manifested by hemorrhages, persistent neurological disorders, epileptic seizures;
with dangerous sizes of angioma.

In any case, the doctor should inform the patient about all possible risks and options for the course of the disease.

Surgical treatment of cavernous angioma can be carried out in several ways:

Surgical intervention is a classic technique for removing neoplasms, which will reduce the pressure of the vascular bundle on the surrounding brain tissue, which will eliminate unpleasant symptoms and the risk of rupture of pathological vessels. Has some contraindications: elderly age and multiple vascular formations.
Radiosurgical surgery - removal of the tumor with the help of special devices (kiberi gamma knife). The essence of the method is that an angioma is affected by a beam aimed at a certain angle. This procedure is considered safe, but not as effective as surgery. This technique is mainly used in cases where the operation is impossible or difficult due to the inaccessibility of the angioma.

Alternative treatment of cavernous angioma

Herbal treatment of cavernous angioma is used only to alleviate the symptoms of the disease. It's foolish to hope that the reception herbal remedies will help to completely get rid of the problem - we repeat once again that the only radical treatment for angioma is surgery. However, before starting such treatment, it is still recommended to consult a specialist.

To prevent rupture of the vascular wall, it is recommended to increase its elasticity. This can be achieved by using daily on an empty stomach 2 tbsp. l. any vegetable oil (one spoon - in the morning, the second - at night). Used as an olive or linseed oil, and unrefined sunflower.
To increase the elasticity of blood vessels, another common method is used: take on an empty stomach every morning a mixture of equal parts of natural honey, vegetable oil, flaxseed and lemon juice.
To improve blood circulation, the following recipe may come in handy: every day in the morning on an empty stomach, take one tablespoon of freshly squeezed potato juice. It is also advised to drink an infusion of rose hips.
Garlic infusion is taken to cleanse blood vessels and improve blood circulation. It is prepared as follows: rub a head of garlic and one lemon (with peel) on a fine grater, mix, pour in 0.5 liters of boiled chilled water and insist for 3-4 days. Drink 2 tbsp. l. daily. Can be stored in the refrigerator.
Dill seeds help to relieve symptoms such as headaches. It is necessary to pour a glass of boiling water 1 tbsp. l. seeds. Take 1 tbsp. l. 4 rubles / day.
To get rid of dizziness and noises in the head, it is useful to drink tea from mint or lemon balm several times during the day.
To strengthen blood vessels, it is recommended to eat a couple of green olives once a day in the morning before breakfast.
