A member asked:
Could you have a brain tumor over many years without realizing?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Benign brain tumors can be very slow growing. They may be undected because of their slow growth or because they are not pressing on anything that may lead to neurological symptoms. Because some of these tumors grow so slowly (ie. Meningioma), it is not detected because the displaced brain or nerves may accomodate for the tumor until it gets very large.
