Subependymoma

A subependymoma is a slow-growing, benign brain tumor located near the spinal cord and the ventricles, the fluid-filled areas of the brain. The tumor can obstruct spinal fluid flow or put pressure on surrounding areas, triggering headaches, nausea, vision and balance problems and personality changes. Within the AdventHealth Neuroscience Institute network, we treat people of all ages diagnosed with these tumors, delivering the kind of care that eases your mind, so you can focus on healing.

We specialize in minimally invasive treatments that identify and remove subependymoma tumors with immense accuracy. These advanced techniques pinpoint affected tissue with millimeter precision, enabling our surgeons to extract the tumor or reduce its size. We use minimally invasive endoscopic approaches to remove tumors through the nasal cavity for a smoother, faster recovery. Count on our team to be with you every step of the way, answering your questions and lifting your spirits.
