[Neurocognitive Impairments after Pediatric Brain Tumor Treatment].

With improved cure rates for pediatric brain tumors, attention has increasingly turned to enhancing quality of life after treatment. Children with brain tumors commonly develop cognitive impairment due to the combined effects of the tumor itself, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, surgical treatment, hydrocephalus, neurological complications, and predisposing factors. Patients undergoing pediatric brain tumor treatment are prone to localized cognitive deficits and generalized brain dysfunction, such as intellectual decline and fatigue. Difficulties arising from cognitive impairment often emerge during the late phase of treatment, thereby necessitating ongoing assessment. It is important to promote patient independence while recognizing developmental stages and prevent secondary impairments through appropriate assessment and support.
