The harm of glioma to human body

What are the hazards of glioma to the human body? Among brain tumors, glioma has the highest incidence, and the peak age of onset is 30-40 years old, or 10-20 years old. Many people are still unclear about the hazards of glioma, so they tend to ignore this disease. The following editor will lead you to understand the hazards of glioma to the human body.

There are five aspects of glioma harm

1. Changes in mental status: About 15% to 20% of patients with brainstem gliomas have changes in mental status as the first symptom, mainly manifested in changes in emotions, personality, cognitive function, calculation ability and memory.

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

3. Headache: About 30% of patients with brainstem 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.

4. Epilepsy: About one-third of patients with brainstem 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.

5. 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.

The editor reminds everyone to pay attention to glioma disease in life, understand the knowledge of glioma disease, and know the importance of preventing glioma.
