The early symptoms of glioma are different

The prevalence of intracranial tumors is getting higher and higher, and different intracranial tumors show different clinical manifestations, presenting a complex and diverse phenomenon. If you suffer from intracranial tumors, there will be some clinical manifestations. Patients should be vigilant and go to relevant specialist hospitals for examination in time. Glioma is one of them. What are the different early symptoms of glioma?

1. Headache: About 30% of patients with brain gliomas experience headaches, and about 70% of them will have gradually worsening headaches. This type of headache is mostly non-specific, but intermittent, mostly located on the same side of the lesion, and mostly manifests as dull pain rather than throbbing pain, which is sometimes difficult to distinguish from tension headaches. Brain gliomas usually manifest as forehead pain, while cerebellar gliomas often manifest as pain in the occipital region and neck. If the tumor is too large and produces high intracranial pressure, the headache will be significantly aggravated, sometimes waking up from sleep due to pain, and significantly aggravated during vigorous head movement, sometimes accompanied by nausea and vomiting. If the intracranial hypertension persists for too long, there will also be symptoms of decreased vision.

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

3. 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.

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

In general, glioma can show all the symptoms of neurological diseases, but not all symptoms will appear in a certain person, and these early symptoms will vary with the type of tumor, tissue characteristics, growth location and speed. Therefore, it is best to detect and treat glioma early.
