Can a brain tumor cause pehirerpal neuropathy?

No: These are two separate disease states, and one does not cause the other, unless the medication you are taking for the tumor is toxic to the peripheral nerves.

No but...: ...sometimes the chemotherapy treatment for a brain tumor can cause peripheral neuropathy. Also, breast cancer and lung cancer are associated with peripheral neuropathy in rare cases.
