Brain Tumors Q&A
Brain tumors are abnormal masses formed from irregular cells. While most brain tumors are benign (noncancerous), they can still pose risks by exerting pressure that affects brain function. Primary brain tumors originate within the brain or spinal cord, while secondary brain tumors develop when cancerous cells from tumors elsewhere in the body metastasize (spread) to the brain. The exact cause of brain tumors is not fully understood, but risk factors may include exposure to radiation and a family history of brain tumors.
Symptoms
- Headaches
- Seizures
- Balance problems and dizziness
- Personality changes
- Nausea and vomiting
- Vision or hearing difficulties
- Speech, language, thinking, and memory problems
- Weakness or paralysis
- Gradual loss of limb sensation or movement
- Facial paralysis and sagging eyelids
- Fatigue
- Sleep pattern changes
Headaches are a common symptom of brain tumors, often increasing in severity over time and becoming more frequent or constant. However, it's essential to note that brain tumors do not cause most headaches. Sudden and severe headaches may indicate other serious conditions, such as a burst aneurysm. Aneurysms are dilated arteries filled with blood, typically presenting no symptoms until rupture, which can lead to a life-threatening emergency.
