A member asked:

If my eye pressure and optic nerve is normal and not swell do i have a good chance that i don't have a brain tumor even with body twitching and cramps

3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Tumor: Although it is possible to have normal eye pressure and normal optic nerves with a brain tumor, this is quite rare.

Dr Goodrich and another doctor agreed

Brain tumor: If the optic nerve is normal and not swollen then this is a sign of normal intracranial pressure. Body twitching and cramps are not typical signs of a brain tumor.
