Question 1

asking for a friend  she wants to know if  temple hurting and dizziness and eye pain are signs of brain tumor. i told her it was prolly a migraine?

Accepted Answer

Migraine: A migraine is a common type of headache that may occur with symptoms such as nausea, vomiting,  dizziness, changes in vision, numbness/ tingling or sensitivity to light. In many people, a throbbing pain is felt only on one side of the head. Some people who get migraines have warning symptoms, called an aura, before the actual headache begins.

Question 2

i think i may have a brain tumor? i have mild eye pain on one side.

Accepted Answer

See your physician.: Mild eye pain can be from many different reasons some more significant than others. The wisest thing to do is to go to your primary physician or alternatively go to an ophthalmologist or optometrist to have your eyes examined. They will decide if further work-up is needed.

Question 3

i'm having constant frontal headaches associated with eye pain/eye strain. i've taken tylenol, but doesn't help. i was recently diagnosed with glaucoma and i'm 29. could there possibly be a misdiagnose and i could possibly have a brain tumor?

Accepted Answer

Some advice: You may well have glaucoma but that does not explain the headaches, which may well be migraine in etiology.  Not sure why "brain tumor" is a concern, as such a lesion would be relatively rare at your age.  Would not hurt to clear the concerns via a brain MRI, and you might see a neurologist to help with headache management.

Question 4

do brain tumors cause eye pain? my optic nerve looks healthy?

Accepted Answer

: Certain brain tumors can cause eye symptoms but eye pain itself is more commonly from tumors originating in or near the orbital bone or eye.

Question 5

can a doctor tell if there is a brain tumor by looking into your eyes with that light?

Accepted Answer

First step: The ophthalmoscope can identify pushing forward of the optic nerve into the eyeball, suggesting (among other possibilities) a mass lesion within the skull.

Question 6

i've been on the computer a lot and my eyes are kind of jumping around when i read, could this be a brain tumor? neuro disorder? been going on 3 days.

Accepted Answer

Eyes: Please go see an eye doctor ( opthomologist) to be sure but often just fatigue. Stop on the computer and go get checked!

Question 7

for a few years i have had one pupil slightly larger than the other. they both construct normally and eye dr didnt even notice until i pointed it out. also a cop told me my eyes dont have a smooth pursuit. been this way for years. brain tumor?

Accepted Answer

Doubt it: brain tumor does not cause this kind of symptoms, but i think you should be seen and evaluated by a neurologist if your eye doctor did not think there is anything wrong with your eyes make sure it was an ophthalmologist not eye doctor from the mall 
of course most optometrist are qualified to provide very professional and complete eye examination

Question 8

brain tumor cause pain in one eye off and on?

Accepted Answer

It's possible: Any disease in close proximity to the frontal skull base (i.e. "eye sockets") can irritate the linings of the adjacent membranes through inflammation, distortion, compression or infiltration of the structures. Tumors are not the only cause. If you're worried, get it checked out. Start with a neurologist, ent, or ophthalmologist depending upon any associated symptoms.

Question 9

daily headache localized behind/center of eyes between both temples possible brain tumor?

Accepted Answer

Possible, unlikely: Check your vision. Any persistent headache should be checked out. A brain ct will rule in/out tumor.

Question 10

is squeezing eyes shut & excessively blinking a sign of brain tumor in 12 week old? eyes have been checked & are fine

Accepted Answer

No: I would need to see the kid to begin understanding the symptoms you list. However, I don't go to brain tumor as a reason for this in a 12 wk old.
