What are the conditions for glioma

For every patient with glioma, good health is their greatest happiness. However, God is not kind to them, and they suffer from glioma. This has caused great harm to their bodies. Some people even do not know that they are sick when they suffer from glioma, or they know that they have glioma, but they do not pay attention to it and do not treat it. This has aggravated their condition invisibly. So, what are the conditions of glioma?

Common symptoms: deep headache, vomiting, decreased vision, diplopia, epileptic seizures, slow reaction, brainstem hemorrhage, brainstem lesions, periaqueductal damage, strabismus, facial muscle spasm, ataxia, ventricular compression and displacement, hypothalamic damage, pharyngeal paresthesia, and cervical edema.

Benign gliomas grow slowly and have a long course of disease, with an average of two years from the onset of symptoms to the time of medical treatment. Malignant gliomas grow quickly and have a short course of disease, with most cases taking less than three months from the onset of symptoms to the time of medical treatment, and 70-80% taking less than half a year. Headaches are mostly caused by increased intracranial pressure. As the tumor grows, the intracranial pressure gradually increases, compressing and pulling on pain-sensitive structures in the brain such as blood vessels, dura mater, and certain cranial nerves, causing headaches.

Most of them are throbbing pain and distending pain, mostly in the frontal, temporal or occipital regions. For superficial tumors in one cerebral hemisphere, the headache may mainly occur on the affected side. The headache is intermittent at first and often occurs in the early morning. As the tumor develops, the headache gradually worsens and lasts longer. Local symptoms caused by compression, infiltration and destruction of brain tissue by the tumor result in neurological dysfunction. Increased intracranial pressure can cause papilledema, and over time lead to secondary atrophy of the optic nerve and decreased vision. Tumors compressing the optic nerve will cause primary optic atrophy, which also leads to decreased vision. The abducens nerve is easily compressed and pulled, often causing paralysis and double vision.

Vomiting is caused by stimulation of the medullary vomiting center or the vagus nerve, and may be projectile without nausea. In children, the headache may not be obvious due to cranial suture separation, and because posterior cranial fossa tumors are common, vomiting is more prominent.
