A member asked:

My friend has a normal 5 yr old baby girl....but other 2 pregnancies she had baby boys with brain tumors.the babies died right after. whts reason?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Unusual: Brain tumors in general are relatively rare in the general population. For there to be two in one family is unusual. She should have some work-up by her neurologist and a geneticist to see if there is some genetic syndrome that puts her and her family at increased risk for brain tumors.
