For a first‑grade student, a huge mass was removed from his brain after he complained of a headache. A child from Novosibirsk complained of a feeling of unease. During the examination, the neurologist discovered a three‑centimeter anomaly in the brain. It is usually accepted that such formations do not grow; the child was sent home and told to observe. A year later, a first‑grade student was hospitalized mid‑day straight from school with a suspected brain bleed. It turned out that during that period the anomaly had grown to 7.5 cm after several cerebral events and was life‑threatening. The doctors decided to intervene. In the morning the surgery was successfully completed. Tomorrow a first‑grade active and sociable student will be discharged home, with a five‑year follow‑up. Rapidly growing cavernomas are extremely rare: the child's case is the 54th in the world. Neuro‑oncologists are preparing a scientific publication on a brave seven‑year‑old patient. — Let us wish the child good health!
