A member asked:

How big does a tumor in cerebellum have to be for it to cause someone to have weak legs and off balance? would something show on ct scan without dye?

Dr. Michael Gabor answered

Specializes in Diagnostic Radiology

Can be small: It can be very small and still cause symptoms if it is in the right location. CT without contrast might or might not show anything. Best imaging test is MRI with contrast.
