What are the uncomfortable symptoms of brain tumor? Symptoms of brain tumor

Generally speaking, because brain tumors occur in the brain and cause certain damage to brain cells, headache is the most common symptom. The second most common symptom is that it affects the normal functioning of other nerve cells. Patients may experience decreased vision, lack of energy, etc. Such unusual situations should be checked in time.

The early manifestations of brain tumors vary, and it is almost impossible to diagnose brain tumors based on individual symptoms and signs. With the continuous development of modern medicine, there are many auxiliary examination methods that can help in the early diagnosis of brain tumors. Electroencephalogram, isotope scanning, X-ray head radiography, lumbar puncture (examination of cerebrospinal fluid), etc. all have certain auxiliary diagnostic value. Pneumoencephalography and cerebral angiography are of great help in determining the specific location of brain tumors. Brain ultrasound examination is a non-invasive examination method. For suspected patients, a preliminary diagnosis of the presence or absence of a tumor can be made by detecting the deviation of the midline wave through ultrasound. This method is simple and patients are willing to accept it. A more advanced examination method is computer tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging, which can be widely used in the diagnosis of various brain tumors. Its accuracy rate in detecting intracranial space-occupying lesions is about 98%, which is currently a good method for early detection of brain tumors.

The main clinical symptoms of intracranial tumors.

1. Headache: It occurs in about 80% of patients and is the most common early symptom, but it is not the main basis for diagnosis. Any factors that can aggravate increased intracranial pressure can aggravate headache.

2. Vomiting: It has nothing to do with diet and is more common in the early morning. Vomiting is often accompanied by severe headache, which can sometimes be projectile, but non-projectile vomiting is also common.

3. Optic nerve dislocation edema: There is no visual impairment in the early stage. As time goes by and the disease progresses, there is a centripetal shrinkage of the visual field. In the late stage, the optic nerve atrophies secondary and the vision decreases rapidly. This is also the key point to distinguish it from pseudo-papillary edema caused by optic neuritis. Papilledema is an important objective basis among the “three main symptoms”.
