abstract="Brain tumors are second only to leukemia as the most common type of childhood cancer. Often, one of the first signs of underlying brain mass is change in the usual behaviour of the child. Disruptive and aggressive behaviour is not unusual especially with temporal lobe lesions, and poses a unique challenge to unit nurses. In this paper, a review of the current literature related to this topic will be reviewed. Some typical behavioral and affective responses of children with temporal lobe tumors will be outlined and patient management strategies will be discussed, from a nursing unit perspective. Finally, other nursing implications and future research possibilities will be discussed.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
