An accumulation of aberrant brain cells is known as a brain tumor.
The brain's architecture is extremely intricate, with several regions controlling various nervous system processes.
Any portion of the brain or skull can develop a brain tumor, including the brain's protective coating, the base of the skull, the brainstem, the sinuses, the nasal cavity, and many other places.
Doctors claim that because different areas of the brain are responsible for various processes, the symptoms of a brain tumor would differ depending on where the tumor is located. For instance, a brain tumor in the cerebellum in the rear of the head may make it difficult to move, walk, balance, and coordinate one's movements. Changes in vision may occur if the tumor impacts the optic pathway, which is responsible for seeing.
Headaches, seizures or convulsions, trouble thinking, speaking or finding words, personality or behavior changes, weakness, numbness, or paralysis in one part or one side of the body, loss of balance or unsteadiness, loss of hearing, vision changes, confusion and disorientation, and memory loss are among the most typical symptoms of a brain tumor.
