I got brain cancer in Bengbu. What are the early symptoms of brain cancer? Can it be cured?

Increased intracranial pressure

Symptoms of increased intracranial pressure occur in more than 90% of patients with brain tumors, and their manifestations are:

Brain CT pictures

1. Headaches, nausea, vomiting, and headaches are mostly located on the forehead and temples. They are persistent headaches that worsen in paroxysms. The headaches are often worse in the morning, and the intermittent periods can be normal.

2. Papilledema and vision loss.

3. Mental and consciousness disorders and other symptoms: dizziness, diplopia, amaurosis fugax, cataplexy, confusion, mental restlessness or apathy, epilepsy and even coma may occur.

4. Changes in vital signs: Moderate and severe acute increases in intracranial pressure often cause breathing, pulse, and blood pressure to slow down and blood pressure to rise.

Local symptoms

Local symptoms and signs: It mainly depends on the location of tumor growth, so the localization diagnosis of the tumor can be made based on the patient's unique symptoms and signs.

1. Clinical symptoms of cerebral hemisphere tumors:

(1) Psychiatric symptoms: usually manifested as slow reaction, laziness, loss of recent memory, or even loss of self-awareness in severe cases. Power and judgment may also manifest as bad temper, easily agitated or euphoric.

(2) Epileptic seizures: including generalized seizures and localized seizures, with the frontal lobe being the most common, followed by the temporal lobe, parietal lobe, and the occipital lobe being the least common. In some cases, there is an aura before the convulsion. For example, for temporal lobe tumors, there are often hallucinations, dizziness and other auras before the onset of epilepsy. For parietal lobe tumors, there may be abnormal sensations such as numbness of the limbs before the onset of epilepsy.

(3) Symptoms of pyramidal tract damage: manifested as weakness in the contralateral half of the body or a single limb to the tumor or positive pathological signs of paralysis.

(4) Sensory impairment: It manifests as impairment of position sense of the limb contralateral to the tumor, two-point discrimination sense, figure sense, material sense, and entity sense.

(5) Aphasia: divided into motor and sensory aphasia.

(6) Visual field changes: manifested as visual field defects and hemianopia.

2. Clinical manifestations of tumors in the sella area:

(1) Visual impairment: The tumor develops suprasellarly and compresses the optic chiasm, causing vision loss and visual field defects. It is often a tumor of the sella turcica. The main reason why patients come to see a doctor is that primary optic atrophy can be found on fundus examination.

(2) Endocrine dysfunction: such as hypogonadism, male impotence and loss of sexual desire. Women present with prolonged menstrual periods or amenorrhea. Excessive secretion of growth hormone can lead to gigantism before maturity and acromegaly after maturity.

3. Clinical symptoms of pineal area tumors:

Symptoms of quadrigeminal compression: concentrated in two aspects, namely: visual impairment, pupillary light response and accommodation response Disorders include tinnitus and deafness; unsteady holding of objects, staggering gait, horizontal eye tremor, partial paralysis of limbs, pyramidal tract signs on both sides; diabetes insipidus, lethargy, obesity, systemic growth arrest, and visible precocious puberty in males.

4. Clinical symptoms of posterior cranial fossa tumors:

(1) Symptoms of cerebellar hemisphere: Mainly manifested as ataxia of the affected limb, and weakened muscle tone of the affected side may also occur Or there is no tension, slow knee tendon reflexes, horizontal nystagmus, and sometimes vertical or rotational tremor.

(2) Symptoms of the cerebellar vermis: Mainly manifested as ataxia of the trunk and distal lower limbs, the feet are too far apart when walking, the gait is staggering, or swaying from side to side like a drunkard.

(3) Brainstem symptoms: The characteristic clinical manifestation is cross paralysis. For example, there are many lesions in the midbrain, which are manifested as oculomotor nerve palsy on the affected side, and pontine lesions, which can be manifested as extraocular palsy on the affected side. Abdominal and hemifacial paralysis, ipsilateral facial sensory impairment and hearing impairment, bulbar lesions may cause ipsilateral tongue muscle paralysis, throat paralysis, loss of taste in the back 1/3 of the tongue, etc.

5. Symptoms of cerebellopontine angle: often manifested as tinnitus, hearing loss, dizziness, facial numbness, facial muscle twitching, facial paralysis and hoarseness, choking on drinking water and coughing, and side effects of the disease. The imbalance and level are shocking.

Progressive symptoms

Sometimes there will be no compression symptoms in the early stage of the tumor. As the tumor increases, it may show different degrees of compression symptoms, depending on the location of tumor growth and the degree of malignancy. , the speed of tumor growth and the degree of symptom progression also vary rapidly.

Hope to adopt
