What r the symtems for having a brain tumor?
360785
The symptoms of brains tumors, can be varied depending on the size and location(frontal, temporal etc) of the tumor. Also many tumors are secondaries, so systemic involvement and hence systemic sysmptoms are not ruled out.\n\nYou will to have describe ur symptoms in detail, and most importantly PLEASE  SEEK A MEDICAL CONSULT  ASAP.\n\nThe probability is that  u might be getting glasses (vision changes) \nother causes include\nMigraine (incl. hypersensitivity to sound and/or light)\nTemporal ateritis ( female patient, pain in temples)\nTension Headache \nHead injury ( haemorrhage)\nSpace Occupyig Lesion ( tumor,. etc)\netc\n\nI hope that helps a little bit

There is a report from Swedish researchers which compared data from 905 people with malignant brain tumors diagnosed between 1997 and 2003 and a questionnaire from 2,162 healthy people. The study found that people who reported heavy use of cell phones and Cordless phones had an increased risk of brain tumors on the side of the head where they used the phone. I read this in a magazine. It is suppose to be on-line at ***International Archives of occupational and environmental health*** anyway the study said the greatest risk were for people who used wireless phones for more than 2,000 hours in over 10 years... Other studies haven't found this though...in response to this report the FDA has said they plan to have a meeting in the near future to evaluate research.  for more info...go to FDA site www.fda.gov/cellphones/

no - see another doctor........my 18yr. old cousin was bieng treated for migrain headaches - for 6mos. started having seizures and another doctor actually found that she had a mass on the brain that was cancerous, stage 4, terminal..........she died. you dont have time for mis-diagnosis, life is already to short.

Cavernous angioma, also known as cerebral cavernous malformation (CCM), cavernous haemangioma, and cavernoma, is a vascular disorder of the central nervous system that may appear either sporadically or exhibit autosomal dominant inheritance.

i am sorry about ur grief. i will try my best to give the best information i can. but u wouldnt mind if its long enough? do u?\nA brain tumor is any intracranial mass created by an abnormal and uncontrolled growth of cells either normally found in the brain itself: neurons, glial cells (astrocytes, oligodendrocytes, ependymal cells), lymphatic tissue, blood vessels), in the cranial nerves (myelin-producing Schwann cells), in the brain envelopes (meninges), skull, pituitary and pineal gland, or spread from cancers primarily located in other organs (metastatic tumors).\n\nPrimary (true) brain tumors are commonly located in the posterior cranial fossa in children and in the anterior two-thirds of the cerebral hemispheres in adults, although they can affect any part of the brain.\n\nIn the United States in the year 2000, it was estimated that there were 16,500 new cases of brain tumors[1], which accounted for 1.4% of all cancers, 2.4% of all cancer deaths[2], and 20%–25% of pediatric cancers[2],[3]. Ultimately, it is estimated that there are 13,000 deaths/year as a result of brain tumors[1].\n\nAside from exposure to vinyl chloride or ionizing radiation, there are no known environmental factors associated with brain tumors. Mutations and deletions of so-called tumor supressor genes are incriminated in some forms of brain tumors. Patients with various inherited diseases, such as Von Hippel-Lindau syndrome, multiple endocrine neoplasia, neurofibromatosis type 2 are at high risk of developing brain tumors.In contrast to tumors originating elsewhere in the body, differentiating primary "brain tumors"—these are the true brain tumors, arising exclusively from cells normally present in the brain itself—into benign and malignant is of relative and limited clinical value, since even histologically-benign tumors grow by infiltration of healthy brain tissue and, in time, tend to transform into malignant forms (anaplastic degeneration). True benign intracranial tumors arise mainly from the meninges (meningiomas; about 95% are benign), pituitary gland (pituitary adenomas) and the myelin sheath of cranial nerves (neuromas or Schwanomas, e.g. acoustic neuroma).\n\nMost primary brain tumors (gliomas) originate from glia: astrocytes (astrocytomas), oligodendrocytes (oligodendrogliomas). There are also mixed forms, with both an astrocytic and an oligodendroglial cell component. These are called mixed gliomas or oligoastrocytomas. Additionally, mixed glio-neuronal tumors (tumors displaying a neuronal, as well as a glial component, e.g. gangliogliomas, disembryoplastic neuroepithelial tumors) and tumors originating from neuronal cells (e.g. gangliocytoma, central gangliocytoma) can also be encountered.\n\nOther varieties of primary brain tumors include: primitive neuroectodermal tumors (PNET, e.g. medulloblastoma, medulloepithelioma, neuroblastoma, retinoblastoma, ependymoblastoma), tumors of the pineal parenchyma (e.g. pineocytoma, pineoblastoma), ependymal cell tumors, choroid plexus tumors, neuroepithelial tumors of uncertain origin (e.g. gliomatosis cerebri, astroblastoma), etc.\n\nFrom a histological perspective, astrocytomas, oligondedrogliomas, and oligoastrocytomas may be benign or malignant. Glioblastoma multiforme represents the most aggressive variety of malignant glioma. At the opposite end of the spectrum, there are so-called pilocytic astrocytomas, a distinct variety of astrocytic tumors. The majority of them are located in the posterior cranial fossa, affect mainly children and young adults, and have a clinically favorable course and prognosis.\n\nIn contrast to other types of cancer, primary brain tumors rarely metastasize, and in this rare event, the tumor cells spread within the skull and spinal canal through the cerebrospinal fluid, rather than via bloodstream to other organs.\n\nThere are various classification systems currently in use for primary brain tumors, the most common being the World Health Organization (W

Astrocytoma?  Treatment depends on where the tumor is, and it's grading.

Physical therapy can help you more than anything else. It has been successful for several friends of mine who have had brain trauma, including aneurysm, cancer, and infection.

It will depend on where the tumor is located (since the symptoms vary within parts of the brain) and on the size. \nSome tumors don't give any symptoms, at least until they are big enough to start causing some local inflammatory reactions or pushing some nerves away. Roughly, it could give headaches (very unspecific), dizziness, numbness in any place of face/body, paralysis of some parts of the body/face like an arm, leg, mouth etc, problems with the vision (seeing double...), even changes in the personality like aggression, etc.

There are a ton of reasons why you may have headaches.   It could be stress, vision problems, even jaw problems.  These are the most common causes.  Rarely, very, very, rarely is it from a tumor or something in the head.  And usually there are other symptoms that would go along with a tumor.  If these headaches are bad enough to bother you, you should absolutely go to the doctor and just make sure everything checks out.  Good Luck!

a localized headache.\n\nyou might have a tumor, but i doubt it.  don't let that bother you though.

Age could be a factor, as well as current medical conditions, medications, where the tumor was, and scheduling a surgery,\nthe possibilities are endless

well,it depends on many factors:\n1-type:sarcoma(osteosarcoma),carcinoma(stomach carcinoma).\n2-site:skin,abdomen,chest...etc.\n3-size:small,large,single,multiple...etc.\n4-growing:rapidly growing,slow growing.\n5-origin:primary from the tissue of origin,secondary(metastasis).\n\nso,we have many factors that affect the form of symptoms,but we can realize two types of symptoms:\n1-general symptoms:anorexia,weight loss,fatigue,anemia,also there is what is called pressure symptoms resulted from on growing tumor like pain&movement limitation in case of bone tumor...ect.\n2-specific symptoms:these are special symptoms related to specific cancer,like hemoptysis in bronchogenic carcinoma,loss of vision in brain tumor affecting the visual cortex & so on.

Yes you can have eye tumours\nhttp://eyetumor.wustl.edu/about%20eye%20tumors.htm\n\nYour symptoms sound more like tension headaches but the safe thing would be to have a check up. See your doctor/GP or an ophthalmologist/eye specialist
