A member asked:
Can a small benign brain tumor on cerebellum cause nerves to be inflamed without causing raised intracranial pressure?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Has an effect: The tumor would be unlikely to create much inflammation beyond the borders of the lesion, and if small, it would not be likely to cause obstructive problems. However, might be potential issue if enlarges, so have close followup with an expert neurosurgeon.
