cerebellar hamartoma
A cerebellar hamartoma is a rare, benign tumor that forms in the cerebellum, the part of the brain responsible for coordination and balance. These growths are made up of a mix of normal brain cells and tissues, which can disrupt normal brain function but are not cancerous. Symptoms may include issues with movement, balance, or coordination, depending on the size and location of the hamartoma.
Diagnosis typically involves imaging techniques like MRI or CT scans to visualize the tumor. Treatment options may vary, ranging from monitoring the condition to surgical removal if symptoms are severe. Regular follow-ups with a healthcare provider are essential for managing any potential complications.
