Brain tumor growth and what are the symptoms?

Depends: Some of this depends on how large the tumor is and where it is located. Increased or severe headaches with nausea and vomiting can be a symptom, dizziness, loss of balance, visual disturbances, and even problems with hearing, blood pressure, speech, can develop. Any new, severe, or persisting neurological symptom should be neurologically evaluated.

Depends on location: The location and type of the tumor will determinte the symptoms. If the tumor is located near areas of the brain that control movement, for example, you would anticipate progressive problems with weakness/coordination on the side opposite the tumor. Brain irritation can lead to seizures. How fast the symptoms progress depends on the grade of the tumor-the more aggressive, the faster the symptoms.

Brain Tumor: We usually confirm or rule out by ct scan of the head, an urgent referral to a doctor is needed if suspected.
