Neuroepithelioma

Neuroepithelioma is a malignant tumor of the retina. It is a type of glioma. Neuroepithelioma develops from retinal cells that are of neuroepithelial origin.

The main symptoms of neuroepithelioma are blurred vision, the appearance of “floaters” or “fog” in the field of vision. The tumor can lead to retinal detachment and complete loss of vision in the affected eye.

Retinal neuroepithelioma is considered a malignant tumor because it grows quickly and can metastasize. If treatment is not started promptly, it can spread along the optic nerve to the brain.

The main treatment for neuroepithelioma is surgical removal of the tumor. Sometimes additional radiation therapy is given to destroy any remaining tumor cells. The prognosis depends on the stage and size of the tumor at the time of diagnosis. The earlier treatment is started, the higher the chances of a favorable outcome.

**NEUROEPITHELIOMA** is a malignant tumor of the epithelium of the neural crest and/or meninges of the brain and optic nerve. Neoplasms can be found in any part of the skull and brain, but most often in the cerebellopontine angle.

Neuroepitheleoma, also known as neuroepilematoma, is a malignant tumor that develops from neuroepilematocytes in the retina. This tumor poses a great threat to patients as it can spread to the brain, leading to severe consequences such as impaired vision and brain function. In this article we will look at the causes, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of neuroepiletheoma.

Causes Neuroepithelioma tumors arise due to dysfunction of retinal cell division. The underlying causes of this tumor are unknown, but there are a number of factors that increase the risk of developing it. These are smoking, vitamin A deficiency, heredity and exposure to ionizing radiation. Symptoms As neuroepilethema develops, dark spots or flashes appear in the eye, headache, visual disturbances, swelling of the eyelids and nose, dilated veins on the face and head, and difficulty perceiving light. Sometimes epileptic seizures occur. In later stages, headaches, paralysis, speech problems, dizziness, and difficulty walking and balance may occur. If the tumor spreads to the brain, there is a risk of dementia and disorders of thinking and behavior. Diagnostics To diagnose neuroepiletioma, ophthalmological examinations using optics and cameras, ultrasound, MRI and computed tomography are performed. If necessary, a biopsy of the retina or brain may be performed to determine the presence and extent of the tumor. Treatment Definitive treatment of neuroepithetoma depends on many factors, including size, grade, and stage of cancer. Some types of tumors can only be treated with surgery; other methods include chemotherapy, radiation therapy, immunotherapy, or hormonal therapy. But in advanced cases, the disease is inoperable, and doctors may suggest removing the tumor along with the affected part of the brain or using radiation or chemotherapy to reduce the size of the malignant tumor. Prognosis After an accurate diagnosis and staging of cancer, the prognosis for recovery may vary. It depends on the type and degree of malignancy of the tumor, the patient's age, general health and the presence or absence of bad habits such as smoking or alcohol abuse. However, even with successful treatment of neuroepilethema, the risks of relapse are very high and require constant monitoring and prevention.
