No doubt, the number of patients with tumors of the brain continues to increase. Previously, this disease often chastise the parents at the age of 70, but now shifted to patient age in young to middle-aged.
While in children, the disease was ranked 2nd in the category of cancer after leukemia. Even in some countries, even a brain tumor puts top ranking!
What are the symptoms?
Brain tumors derived from the growth of brain cells that are not fair. There are conditions that trigger the growth of these cells beyond the normal limits and there was a tumor. When these tumors reach a certain size, it would seem some clinical symptoms.
Brain tumors can occur in primary or secondary, meaning, first appeared in the brain (primary) or in other parts of the body (secondary), and then spread to the brain.
These tumors can be benign (slow growing, for example, about 10 years or more), or malignant (fast-growing, and attack other parts of the body, such as within 1-2 years).
Although the clinical symptoms that appear closely related to the location and size of brain tumors, the most common symptoms are severe headaches that get worse in the morning, sometimes accompanied by nausea and vomiting, and visual disturbances such as blurred or double vision.
Patients may also experience confusion, personality trait changes, weakness in arms or legs, slurred, decreased auditory function, to epilepsy. If these symptoms occur, you should immediately consult a physician for further examination.
