What are the harmful manifestations of glioma

There are many kinds of diseases nowadays. Some are mild and can be cured by taking some medicine. Of course, there are also serious diseases that cannot be cured no matter how they are treated. Glioma is such a disease. Once you have a glioma, it almost means that you will be tortured by the disease for life. What are the harmful manifestations of glioma?

The hazards of brain glioma are described in detail as follows:

1. Headache

About 30% of patients with brain gliomas experience headaches, and about 70% of them experience gradually worsening headaches. This type of headache is mostly non-specific, but only intermittent, mostly located on the same side of the lesion, and often manifests as dull pain rather than throbbing pain, which is sometimes difficult to distinguish from tension headaches.

2. Focal neurological symptoms

The different locations of the tumors can also cause corresponding neurological deficit symptoms, such as limb paralysis, sensory impairment, aphasia, unsteady gait, hemianopsia, alexia and agraphia.

3. Epilepsy

About one-third of patients with gliomas experience epileptic seizures, and the incidence increases to 50-70% during the course of the disease. Half of these epilepsy attacks are localized, while the other half are generalized.

4. Cranial nerve symptoms

Damage to different cranial nerves will produce corresponding neurological symptoms, such as decreased vision, diplopia, strabismus and facial paralysis.

5. Changes in mental status

About 15-20% of patients with brain glioma experience changes in mental state as the first symptom, mainly manifested in changes in emotions, personality, cognitive function, calculation ability and memory.

The above is an introduction to the hazards of glioma. Anyway, the hazards of glioma are very serious, so we must learn more about glioma in our lives, especially the symptoms of glioma. If there are any abnormalities in the body, we must seek medical attention as soon as possible and take timely measures to treat glioma and reduce the harm of the disease as much as possible.
