A member asked:
If someone have a brain tumor,what is the chance for a neurologist to detect abnormalities by physical examination?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: The signs and symptoms of brain tumors depend on the type of tumor and location of the tumor. It is not feasible to provide a yes or no answer. If you see a neurologist , s/he should be able to decide if further testing is needed.
