Signs and Symptoms
The symptoms of brain tumors depend on their extent and place in the brain. Symptoms commonly are causing damage to vital tissue and pressure on the brain as the tumor grows within the partial space in the skull.
They may be caused by swelling and an increase of fluid around the tumor, a condition called edema. Symptoms also may be due to hydrocephalus, which occurs when the tumor blocks the flow of cerebrospinal fluid and causes a build-up in the ventricles. If a brain tumor grows very leisurely, its symptoms may not come into view for some time.
The most common symptoms of brain tumors include:
- Unusual eye actions or changes in vision
- Changes in behavior or memory
- Changes in communication
- Headaches that tend to be shoddier in the morning and ease during the day
- Seizures or convulsions
- Nausea or queasiness
- Weakness or loss of sensitivity in the arms or legs
- Stumbling or lack of coordination in walking
These symptoms may be caused by brain tumors or by other troubles. Analytic tests can be performed to verify if the reason of your symptoms is a brain tumor and if it is a main or secondary one.
