Symptoms of glioma

Nowadays, there are more and more glioma patients. Some people do not take glioma seriously and do not pay attention to it, which makes the disease more and more serious, and then our body and mind are greatly affected. This is undoubtedly a huge injury to our patients. So, in order to suffer less damage, what are the symptoms of glioma?

1. Headache and dizziness: The nature is more severe, often in the early morning, sometimes awakened by pain during sleep, but the headache will gradually ease or disappear after getting up and doing light activities; it occurs in the ependymal cells of the ventricular system and the glial epithelial cells underneath. It is more common in children and young people, located in the ventricles, and can also extend to the brain substance. The tumor is large, occasionally multiple, and the average course of the disease is one year. Those located in the fourth ventricle usually have a shorter course. It often causes symptoms of increased intracranial pressure such as headaches and vomiting.

2. Nausea and vomiting: due to the increase of intracranial pressure, the respiratory center of the medulla oblongata is stimulated, resulting in vomiting. Vomiting often occurs after headache and is jet-like. It is a common type of brain tumor in children, mostly located in the cerebellar vermis, protruding into the fourth ventricle or filling the ventricle, forming obstructive hydrocephalus. Bleeding may occur in the tumor. The disease is characterized by headache, vomiting, and unstable gait and standing.

3. Visual impairment: When intracranial pressure increases, the venous blood return of the eyeball will be blocked, leading to congestion and edema, damaging the visual cells on the retina of the fundus, and causing decreased vision;

4. Mental abnormality: A brain tumor located in the frontal lobe of the brain can destroy the mental activities of the frontal lobe, causing abnormal mental performance such as happiness, restlessness, depression, depression, forgetfulness, and fabrication;

5. Convulsions and epilepsy: Convulsions are common symptoms in brain tumor patients, and are often the first symptoms of most low-grade tumors. They can be minor or major. Epilepsy lesions are mostly located in the brain tissue adjacent to the brain tumor. The tumor is highly malignant, grows fast, and has a short course of disease, with an average of 3 months. Some tumors develop with bleeding, and the symptoms of increased intracranial pressure are obvious. There are often epileptic seizures, with prominent localized symptoms and rapid development, and corresponding symptoms will occur depending on the location of the tumor.
