Brain Cancer's Symptoms

The brain can be multitasking like this because all activity is regulated by different brain parts (each part has a different function). In general, the human brain is divided into three parts, namely a large brain (cerebrum), cerebellum (cerebellum) and brain stem (brain stem). Each section is subdivided into smaller sections, in which each small part is divided again, and so on. Fills the space between the brain fluid (cerebrospinal fluid), while the exterior is protected by three layers of the lining of the brain (meninges) and bone of the skull.

Well, every part of the brain can be affected by tumor / cancer. Although a benign tumor, but because of the growth in the brain, can be very dangerous. The tumor can interfere with the function and structure of the central nervous system damage, because it lies within a finite cavity (cavity of the skull). Along with the development of these tumors, brain tissue will be more depressed. Though the volume of cranial cavity is very limited and may not be getting bigger. This is what makes the headaches / dizziness as an early symptom of brain cancer.

Baseline characteristics of brain cancer varies widely, depending on which part of the brain affected. For example, headache or feel nauseated. Here are the symptoms of brain cancer that you should be aware of:

  1. headache accompanied by nausea to vomiting spray
  2. reduced visibility
  3. decreased awareness or behavior change
  4. speech impairment
  5. hearing loss
  6. impaired walking / balance of the body
  7. nerves
  8. weakened limbs or seizures
  9. in infants are usually large prominent crown

Remember, the above list is only a symptom. Although you are experiencing one or more of the above symptoms, you may not be affected by brain cancer. To be sure, you should be checked immediately by a physician neurologist and undergo a further examination such as CT scan, MRI, angiogram, myelogram, spinal tap and biopsy.
