A member asked:
If someone passes a motor and sensory test and balance checks out fine, could they still have cns cancer?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: CNS cancer can be silent when it is small. So clinical examination can be entirely normal. It is only on a MRI scan that we can see the smaller cancers when there is a good reason to suspect one based on your symptoms.
