Pineal tumors often compress this aqueduct, causing a build up of pressure of CSF in the brain (called hydrocephalus). That's what causes the hydrocephalus. Who knows what causes the tumor itself, there are different types * Pinealocytoma ("benign" pineal cell tumor) * Pineoblastoma (more aggressive pineal cell tumor) * Pineal germinoma ( aggressive primitive cell tumor growing in the pineal region) * Pineal teratomas (rare tumors of multiple cell types that grow in the pineal region) * Pineal Cysts (most often not treated, unless large enough to cause hydrocephalus or visual symptoms) If you are actually just wanting to know what causes brain tumors, the answer would be, who knows?

He doesn't have insurance so it is a struggle. I called the Southwestern University Medical Center here in Ft. Worth/Dallas and they have his information so hopefully we will get an appointment tomorrow. I am really scared...he is a single father. He plays in a over 40 softball league and is never sick. This has happened so sudden and I have no idea what is going to happen. I am reading everything I can on the internet and that is how I found your website. I appreciate you sharing your story so that someone who is going through this can understand alittle better. I would really like it if you could give me some insight to what we might be in store for.

My spouse and my daughter are both Neurosurgeons in Wisconsin. So, Ive heard many stories and yours is very well written, and timely. I hope you have had a full recovery and a normal life.
