Question 4

could someone get brain tumor by having several hits to the head?

Accepted Answer

Question 5

23yo female so scared i have a brain tumor just have a feeling of pressure at the top and side of my head. doesnt get any worse no other symptoms?

Accepted Answer

Relax, see dr.: Brain tumors in your age group are not common. If the headache goes away with paracetamol and there are no neural symptoms like confusion, weakness, numbness, double vision, the headache is worse in the afternoon, and no nausea and vomiting, you can relax. Make an appointment with your doctor for a neurological exam and ask if you may need other tests done.Sometimes sertralene can cause headaches.

Question 6

Well sure, but...: ...what you describe sounds pretty nonspecific. Further, you have not shared if any neurologic signs are present,  the duration or intensity of your symptoms, and whether a head imaging has been accomplished.

Question 9

please explain if it is possible to get a meningioma (a type of brain tumor) from a head injury?

Accepted Answer

Not likely: The cause of most meningiomas is not known.  A few occur in genetic syndromes such as neurofribomatosis type ii, and some occur after radiation therapy for other tumors.  Head trauma is not known to cause these tumors.  Sometimes one is discovered when there is head trauma leading to a brain scan (ct or mri) as an "incidental" finding.
