Where are the dangers of glioma manifested

Clinically, gliomas often occur in the neuroectoderm, so clinical experts call gliomas neuroepithelial tumors or neuroectodermal tumors. There are many clinical classifications of gliomas. Experts say that the incidence of gliomas in men is higher than in women. So, let's take a look at the hazards of gliomas.

1. Mental disorders

It is caused by progressive increase in intracranial pressure, or it can be the result of compression and destruction of the brain substance by tumors. The early symptoms are generally mild, manifested as apathy, dullness, memory and comprehension impairment, etc. As intracranial pressure continues to increase, mental symptoms become more obvious, such as dementia, confusion, personality and behavior changes, etc.

2. Tumor bleeding

Patients with a small amount of bleeding may have no symptoms or very mild symptoms. Patients with a large amount of bleeding may show symptoms of high intracranial pressure, hemiplegia, aphasia, and in severe cases, loss of consciousness, brain herniation, or even sudden death.

3. Limb paralysis

Most cases are hemiplegia. The incidence is higher in patients with tumors located near the motor area of ​​the brain, the basal ganglia, or the ventral side of the brainstem. It starts as mild paralysis, which gradually develops into severe paralysis and even complete paralysis. Hemiplegia is accompanied by other manifestations, such as symptoms of high intracranial pressure.
