summary

Glioma is a malignant tumor, many people are more used to call it "brain cancer". In life, many patients feel as if they are on the verge of death after the diagnosis of glioma. In recent years, with the continuous development of medical technology, neurosurgical technology in the treatment of glioma has achieved good results. Although glioma is malignant, it can be divided into four grades. Glioma growth site is different, the symptoms of patients are not the same. What are the symptoms of medullary gliomas?

Symptoms of medullary gliomas?

Primary gliomas in the medulla oblongata, the first symptom of patients is often vomiting phenomenon, easy to be misdiagnosed as neurological vomiting or neurosis, especially in adult patients. Patients often show varying degrees of dizziness, headache, and posterior cranial nerve paralysis symptoms, such as dysphagia, eating cough, aphasia, etc.

The symptoms and signs caused by glioma mainly depend on the space occupying effect and the function of the affected brain regions. Glioma can cause headache, nausea and vomiting, epilepsy, blurred vision and other symptoms due to its space occupying effect.

Because of the different malignant degree of glioma, the speed of symptoms is also different. For example, patients with low-grade gliomas often have a history of several months or even last year, while patients with high-grade gliomas often have a history of several weeks to several months. According to the patient's history, symptoms and signs, we can preliminarily infer the location of the lesion and the degree of malignancy.
