what r symtoms of a brain tomer?

Question

i'm haveing very painfuly headace for the past 4 weeks.

Answer 1

inability to spell is one of the symptoms

Answer 2

Some of the symptoms are: Headache, although most tumors don't cause headaches until they become large enough to cause pressure on the skull. Dizziness. Mini-strokes accompanied by auras (smells, flashing lights, etc.) Blank out, where you become unaware of where you are or what't going on around you. I know that all these are symptoms because brain tumors seem to run in my family and these are the things they had that made them finally ask a doctor for help.

Answer 3

You could just have a migraine that won't go away but it could also be one of the symptoms of a brain tumor. Other symptoms include dizzyness, change of sleeping habits, and change in attitude or personality.You should go see your doctor right away. They will probably do an MRI to look at your brain to see what is going on.

Answer 4

Raging headaches are a pretty good indicator. This happened to a former co-worker to the point where she went to the hospital, they diagnosed the tumor, eventually she was sent on to Cleveland Clinic to have it removed, five years later she's just fine (the tumor wasn't malignant).

Answer 5

Headache does not mean brain tumor

Diagnosis

Although there is no specific clinical symptom or sign for brain tumors, slowly progressive focal neurologic signs and signs of elevated intracranial pressure, as well as epilepsy in a patient with a negative history for epilepsy should raise red flags. However, a sudden onset of symptoms, such as an epileptic seizure in a patient with no prior history of epilepsy, sudden intracranial hypertension (this may be due to bleeding within the tumor, brain swelling or obstruction of cerebrospinal fluid's passage) is also possible.

Imaging plays a central role in the diagnosis of brain tumors. Early imaging methods—invasive and sometimes dangerous—such as pneumoencephalography and cerebral angiography, have been abandoned in recent times in favor of non-invasive, high-resolution modalities, such as computed tomography (CT) and especially magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Benign brain tumors often show up as hypodense (darker than brain tissue) mass lesions on cranial CT-scans. On MRI, they appear either hypo- (darker than brain tissue) or isointense (same intensity as brain tissue) on T1-weighted scans, or hyperintense (brighter than brain tissue) on T2-weighted MRI. Perifocal edema also appears hyperintense on T2-weighted MRI. Contrast agent uptake, sometimes in characteristic patterns, can be demonstrated on either CT or MRI-scans in most malignant primary and metastatic brain tumors. This is due to the fact that these tumors disrupt the normal functioning of the blood-brain barrier and lead to an increase in its permeability.

Electrophysiological exams, such as electroencephalography (EEG) play a marginal role in the diagnosis of brain tumors.

The definitive diagnosis of brain tumor can only be confirmed by histological examination of tumor tissue samples obtained either by means of brain biopsy or open surgery. The histologic examination is essential for determining the appropriate treatment and the correct prognosis.
