What are common signs for brain cancer and blood clots in the brain?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Symptoms maybe simil: Headaches and nausea/vomiting are common to both disease entities. But an imaging study (like a ct scan or mri) can make a distinction easily as they would look distinctly different from each other.
