Danger Signs of a Brain Tumor

Danger Signs of a Brain Tumor. Neurosurgeon Dr Arun L Naik sheds light on danger signs of a brain tumor. Brain tumor signs symptoms depends upon the area of brain involved. Treatment of brain tumor is by surgery chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Astrocytoma brain tumor.
Over your lifetime, the odds of developing a brain tumor is less than 1%. Usually, symptoms like a headache or numbness are just your body’s way of telling you to drink more water or to rest more. Brain tumors come in all shapes and sizes With more than 120 types of brain tumors. Early warning sign of a brain tumor depends upon 3 things
1. Area of the brain where a tumor forms. There are many areas in the brain which are silent and tumor in such silent areas seldom causes any early symptoms, we see a large tumor in such cases. In some areas of the brain, even a small tumor causes early symptoms.
2. How big the tumor is: usually a small tumor will not cause any symptoms and a large tumor results in significant symptoms.
3. How bad the tumor is: Meaning, brain tumors can be good or bad depending on the way it affects the outcome. Good tumors generally grows over years and bad tumors grow over months.
Signs of brain metastases
Here’s a teaser friends: The most common brain tumors don’t actually start in the brain. Brain metastases, or metastatic brain tumors, spread to the brain from other cancers of the body — most often from the lungs, breasts, skin, kidneys or colon. A person with a known history of any cancer, who develops any of these neurological symptoms should be suspected and evaluated.
Signs and symptoms really depends on its location in the brain. For example, if someone has a tumor near the part of the brain controlling leg, he/she will have arm weakness. Similarly tumor near the vision nerves will leave him/her blind.
Seizures
Regardless of type of brain tumor, seizures or convulsions or fits are often one of the first signs of trouble. Irritation from the brain tumor makes the neurons fire uncontrollably, and that leads to abnormal movements. Seizures come in many forms. One could experience whole-body convulsions along with unconsciousness and this we call generalised seizures. One could just have a limited convulsions of one limb or one part of the face with no loss of consciousness. This type of seizures is called a focal seizure. As a rule of the thumb, any convulsions in an adult should be taken seriously and a brain scan should be ordered at the earliest. If someone is already an epileptic since childhood, then any change or character of convulsions is a point of worry again.
Weakness : one can have motor weakness of hands, or feet. If you have struggle with using keys, typing or writing you should seek medical attention. Some people can miss their steps, or struggling with the balance, this also should not be neglected. Similarly imbalance in walking and frequent falls should raise an alarm.
Problem speaking: one striking sign of a brain tumor is sudden difficulty in speaking. Some patients have difficulty in naming people and things. They may call a pen a paper and so forth. I have seen a patient who had a sudden speech arrest at his office meeting when he suddenly stopped talking and was staring at the window for a minute. His colleagues immediately raised an alarm and brought to the hospital. Never neglect this speech symptom. It will be dramatic and worry some.
