Omwana wo alina ekizimba ku bwongo? (Brain Tumor) Kino tukimanye nga tetusattira!

Maama, Taata, omwana wo omuto atera okulumwa omutwe? Oluusi asesema ku makya? Oba gye buvuddeko olabye enkyukakyuka ennene ey’amangu mu nneeyisa oba mu kwogera kw’omwana wo? Kya bulijjo nnyo okuwulira ng’otya oba nga weeraliikirira katono ng’owulira oba ng’olaba ekintu nga kino. Kyokka si buli kulumwa omutwe oba okusesema nti kabonero akalaga obulwadde obw’akabi. Kyokka, wadde nga tebitera kubaawo, oluusi buno buyinza okuba obubonero bw’embeera ng’ekizimba ku bwongo bw’abaana . Kale, awatali kwongera kwogera, ka twogere ku kino mu bujjuvu katono leero, mu ngeri gy’osobola okutegeera, era mu ngeri ennyangu ennyo.

Ekizimba ku bwongo mu baana bano abato kye ki?

Mu ngeri ennyangu, obwongo bwaffe bukolebwa obukadde n’obukadde bw’obutoffaali. Oluusi obutoffaali buno obw’obwongo butandika okukula mu ngeri etaali ya bulijjo era nga tebufugibwa. Wano ekizimba, oba kye tuyita ``Neoplasm,'' we kikolebwa munda mu bwongo. Ensonga enkulu lwaki kino kibaawo eri nti enkyukakyuka ezimu zibaawo mu buzaale bw’obutoffaali bw’obwongo. Enkyukakyuka zino mu buzaale ze zireetera akatoffaali akalamu okweyisa mu ngeri etaali ya bulijjo ne kafuuka ekizimba.

Ebizimba bino ku bwongo birina ebika bibiri:

• Non-malignant oba Benign: Buno si butoffaali bwa kookolo. Kyokka singa zikula munda mu bwongo, zisobola okusika ku bitundu ebikulu eby’obwongo ne zireeta obuzibu.
• Malignant oba Cancerous: Bino bye tuyita ebizimba. Ziyinza okukula amangu ne zisaasaana mu bitundu by’obwongo ebirala oba oluusi ne zigenda mu bitundu by’omubiri ebirala.

Embeera eno esobola okubaawo mu mwana ow’emyaka gyonna, okuva ku muto ennyo okutuuka ku mukulu ennyo, n’oluusi n’okutuuka mu bukulu.

Ebizimba ku bwongo bitera kwenkana wa mu baana?

Mu butuufu, ebizimba ku bwongo kye kika kya kookolo ekisinga okubeera mu baana . Okusinziira ku bibalo, enkumi n’enkumi z’abaana be bazuulibwa n’obulwadde buno buli mwaka. Kiyinza okuwulikika ng’ekitiisa katono, naye jjukira nti singa kizuulibwa nga bukyali ne kijjanjabwa obulungi, emikisa gy’okuwona giri waggulu.

Bika ki eby’ebizimba ebiyinza okulabibwa mu bwongo bw’abaana?

Kiyinza okuwulikika ng’ekizibu naye waliwo ebika by’ebizimba ku bwongo eby’enjawulo mu baana. Zigabanyizibwa okusinziira ku kika ky’obutoffaali bw’obwongo bwe zitandikiramu.Bino bye bimu ku biti ebikulu:

• Obulwadde bwa Gliomas
• Ebizimba by’embuto
• Ebizimba bya pineal
• Obulwadde bwa Craniopharyngiomas
• Ebizimba by’obutoffaali bw’obuwuka

• Embryonal tumor with multilayered rosettes (ETMR): Kino kizimba kya bwongo ekibi eky’abaana ekibeera mu busimu obw’omu makkati.

3. Ebizimba bya pineal

Ebizimba bino bikula mu nseke ya pineal gland. Ensigo eno esangibwa wakati mu bwongo. Obusimu obuyitibwa melatonin bufulumizibwa endwadde eno. Waliwo ebika by’ebizimba ebiwerako ebitandikira mu nnywanto ya pineal gland. Bino biyinza okuba ebitali bya kookolo (benign) oba kookolo (malignant).

Ebika by’ebizimba by’endwadde za pineal gland ebiyinza okubaawo mu baana:

• Pineoblastoma: Kino kye kika ky’ekizimba ky’obutoffaali bw’obuwuka ekisinga okulumwa. Buyinza okusaasaana amangu mu bwongo n’omugongo.
• Ebizimba ebiyitibwa pineal parenchymal tumors: Bino biba bizimba bya kigero. Singa zizuulibwa nga bukyali, ziyinza okukoma mu kitundu kya pineal.
• Ebizimba by’obutoffaali bw’obuwuka:Bino bikolebwa okuva mu bitundu by’embuto ebisigadde mu nseke ya pineal.

4. Obulwadde bw’omutwe n’ennyindo

Bino bizimba ebitali bya kookolo ebitandikira okumpi n'endwadde ya pituitary gland . Zikula okuva mu bitundu by’omubiri ebiyitibwa embryonic tissue of pituitary gland. Craniopharyngiomas ziyinza okuba enkalu, cystic oba nga zitabuddwamu byombi. Ebimu bikula mpola, ate ebirala bikula mangu.

Ebizimba bino bisobola okunyigiriza endwadde y’omubiri (pituitary gland). Obadde okimanyi nti enseke eziyitibwa pituitary gland zikola obusimu obufuga ebintu ng’okukula, puleesa n’okuzaala? Ebizimba bino era bisobola okunyigiriza ekitundu ekikulu eky'obwongo ekiyitibwa hypothalamus . Hypothalamus efuga ebintu bingi nga ebbugumu ly’omubiri, amazzi g’omubiri, n’enneewulira. Obusimu bw’amaaso nabwo busobola okunyigirizibwa ekiyinza okuleeta obuzibu mu kulaba.

5. Ebizimba by’obutoffaali bw’obuwuka

Bino bizimba bya kookolo ebitandikira mu butoffaali bw'embuto obuyitibwa obutoffaali bwa "germ". Mu mutendera gw’embuto, obutoffaali buno obw’obuwuka buva mu bwongo ne bukola enkwaso oba ensigo. Kyokka obutoffaali bw’obuwuka obusigala munda mu bwongo oluusi busobola okufuuka kookolo ne bukola ebizimba by’obutoffaali bw’obuwuka. Ebizimba bino era bisobola okusaasaana mu mugongo n’amazzi g’omu bwongo (CSF).

6. Ebizimba by’omubiri (choroid plexus tumors).

Ebizimba bino bitandikira mu kitundu ekiyitibwa choroid plexus, ekitundu ekikola layini mu bitundu by’obwongo. Ziyinza okuba ezitali za bulabe (nga choroid plexus papilloma) oba kookolo (nga choroid plexus carcinoma). Atypical choroid plexus papillomas bizimba ebikambwe eby’ekigero. Ziyinza okufuuka kookolo singa tezijjanjabwa.

7. Ebiwuka ebiyitibwa Schwannomas

Ebizimba bino bitandikira mu butoffaali bwa Schwann obubikka obusimu mu bwongo. Ebizimba eby’ekika kino bitera okukula okumpi n’obusimu obukola ku kuwulira n’okutebenkeza. Singa zikula okumpi n’omugongo, ziyinza okuleeta obunafu n’obuzibu mu kuwulira. Schwannomas zitera obutaba za kookolo (benign), naye oluusi zisobola okufuuka kookolo (malignant).

8. Obulwadde bw’okuzimba omutwe

Kino nakyo kika kya kizimba ku bwongo, naye tekitera kubeera mu baana. Obuwuka obuyitibwa meningiomas butandikira mu bitundu ebyetoolodde obwongo, ebiyitibwa meninges . Ziyinza okulumba obwongo n’omugongo. Obulwadde bw’okuzimba omutwe obusinga obungi tebulina kookolo, naye busobola okukula nga bunene ne buteeka obulamu mu matigga.

Lowooza ku buli kimu ku bika bino kya njawulo. Eno y’ensonga lwaki obubonero n’obujjanjabi byonna bya njawulo.

Kiki ekivaako ekizimba ku bwongo?

Bannasayansi n’okutuusa kati tebamanyi bulungi lwaki obutoffaali obulamu bukula nga tebufugibwa ne bukola ebizimba. Kyokka, waliwo ensonga eziwerako ezilowoozebwa nti zikola kinene:

• Enkyukakyuka mu buzaale mu buzaale bw’obutoffaali.
• Okusikira obuzaale obukola kookolo.
• Olw’okuba yafuna obujjanjabi obw’amasannyalaze (radiation treatment) ku kookolo omulala emabega.

Waliwo akakwate wakati w’ebizimba ebimu ku bwongo mu baana n’ekibinja ky’ebizibu by’obulamu ebirabika ng’ebikwatagana ebiyitibwa kookolo. Abakugu bakyanoonyereza ku kakwate kano.

Ebimu ku bulwadde bwa kookolo obuyinza okuba n’akakwate kano bye bino:
