What is Brain Tumors?

A brain tumour is an abnormal growth, of cells inside the skull.

Primary brain tumors are tumors which arise from the brain. They can grow from the cells of the brain, blood vessels in the brain, nerves that emerge from the brain or the membranes covering the brain. Benign (non cancerous)brain tumors are generally slow-growing tumors They can exert potentially damaging pressure on the brain but they do not spread into the surrounding brain tissue. Malignant (cancerous) brain tumors are rapid growing and they spread into the surrounding brain. Secondary or metastatic brain tumors grow from cancer cells that originate from a primary cancer located in another organ (e.g. lung, breast or colon).

Both primary and secondary brain tumors can result in severe disability and can cause death if the growth is left unchecked. All patients with symptoms of a possible brain tumour should be evaluated by a neurosurgeon for diagnosis and treatment. Causes of

Symptoms of Brain Tumors

The symptoms may be generalised or localised.

Generalised symptoms are due to increased pressure exerted on the brain and include:

  • A recurring headache that is worse in the morning
  • Nausea and vomiting
  • Seizures
  • Increased drowsiness
  • Localised symptoms depend on the location of the tumour and include:

    Progressive weakness or numbness in the arms or legs

  • Progressive difficulty with speech, hearing and visual deficit
  • Memory loss or a change in memory
  • A significant change in personality or behaviour
  • Some of these symptoms may also be caused by other conditions besides brain tumors. It is therefore wise to seek a neurosurgical opinion should the symptoms persist.
