Brain Tumors

brain-tumors-by-oc-neurological-instituteA tumor is a group of abnormal cells. Tumors can be located in the brain or around the spinal cord. There are many types of tumors, including ependymomas, gliomas, glioblastomas, choroid plexus tumors, lymphoma, meningiomas, pituitary tumors, skull base tumors, medulloblastomas, oligodendrogliomas, and skull base tumors.

Symptoms: The exact symptoms of a tumor depend on where it is located and how far it has spread. The most common symptoms of brain tumors include headaches, seizures, changes in mental function, and weakness in some spots. Other possible symptoms include confusion, hand tremors, eye abnormalities, personality changes, dizziness, and trouble swallowing.
