Physical Examination
The signs and symptoms of neuroblastoma can vary widely depending on where the disease first started and how much it has spread to other parts of the body. Usual symptoms include:
- Irritability, fatigue, loss of appetite, and fever in infant.
- A swollen stomach, abdominal pain, and decreased appetite in young child.
- Bone pain or soreness, black eyes, bruises, and pale skin
- Weakness, numbness, inability to move a body part, or difficulty walking
- Horner's syndrome: Drooping eyelid, unequal pupils, sweating, and red skin
- Difficulty breathing
Other health problems may also cause these symptoms. Only a doctor can tell for sure. A person with any of these symptoms should tell the doctor so that the problems can be diagnosed and treated as early as possible.
