Anaplastic ependymoma is a type of tumor which is formed when the cells in the brain and spinal cord (Central nervous system) starts to multiply rapidly in an abnormal manner. Anaplastic word is derived from the Greek word which means poor differentiation of the cells where the morphological characteristics of cells are lost. Ependymoma word is also used for the tumor. It can occur at any age and when it occurs in children then the most probable location is the brain (Intracranial). In adults, it is found to occur in the spinal cord. Signs and symptoms of anaplastic ependymoma depend upon the age of the person, location, and size of the tumor.
WHAT IS ANAPLASTIC EPENDYMOMA AS PER AYURVEDA?
In Ayurveda tumor is known as Granthi, which is a Sanskrit word. According to Ayurveda, all the diseases are a result of an imbalance of doshas in the body, i.e. Vata, Pitta, and Kapha Dosha. Similarly, tumors are the result of aggravated Kapha Dosha. This Kapha dosha gets accumulated in the blood, muscles and fatty tissues where this dosha gives rise to a tumor, i.e. hard, round, elevated and nodular growth. Ayurveda classifies tumors into 9 types- Vataja granthi, Kaphaja granthi, Pittaj granthi, Mansa granthi, Rakta granthi, Asthi granthi, Vrana granthi, Meda granthi, and Sira granthi.
WHAT ARE THE SYMPTOMS OF ANAPLASTIC EPENDYMOMA?
As discussed above the signs and symptoms depends upon the age of the patients, location, and size of the tumor. However, some of the common ones are:
- Headache
- Nausea
- Vomiting
- Seizures
- Tiredness
- Loss of concentration
- Changes in thinking
- Nystagmus, i.e. uncontrolled movement of the eyes
- Increased head size in children due to the accumulation of fluid because of tumor, i.e. hydrocephalus.
- Pain and stiffness in the neck
- Loss of reflexes
- Sensory changes
WHAT ARE THE CAUSES OF ANAPLASTIC EPENDYMOMA?
The genetic changes which cause abnormal and rapid growth of the cells of the nervous system are considered to be the reason behind anaplastic ependymoma. This result in the development of the tumor. These abnormal genetic changes are neither present in each and every cell of the body nor present from the birth. They are usually acquired during a person's lifetime and only in a single cell from which the tumor begins. This somatic mutation i.e. acquired genetic change results in rapid multiplication of the cells and passes the genetic change to each of the daughter cells which further multiplies resulting in a tumor. The exact cause of this tumor is not clear neither any of the environmental factors resulting in these changes.
HOW CAN ANAPLASTIC EPENDYMOMA BE DIAGNOSED?
Presence of this tumor is suspected by the doctor during medical history and the further doctor may advise the patient to go through MRI, CT scan and later on the diagnosis can be confirmed by biopsy.
HOW CAN ANAPLASTIC EPENDYMOMA BE TREATED?
In modern medicine, the one and only specific treatment available for this is surgery in which the tumor is removed to the possible extent. Even if the whole tumor is removed the patient have to go through the radiation therapy to minimize the chances of relapsing.
