A member asked:
Could a undetected brain met kill u without symptoms and u not even know u have it? and how does it kill u?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Symptoms: A brain met will produce symptoms before it kills a person. It may be headache, disturbance of movement, seizures, paralysis and the like. Brain mets kill through multiple mechanisms, one being raising intracranial pressure and pushing the brain stem though the opening in skull at the bottom and compromising vital brain centers.
