A doctor has provided 1 answer

Uncommon: Brain Tumors affect over 10,000 people in the US each year, so they are not all that rare. The symptoms typically consisit of persistent Headaches which are new in onset and get progressively more severe over one or two months. Visual changes, sizures and loss of control of an arm or leg can also be the presenting symptoms. If there is strong suspicion it is easy to confirm with a CT or MRI scan
