Increased intracranial pressure: the late symptoms of brain glioma can produce optic papilla edema, and cause secondary atrophy of optic nerve for a long time, resulting in decreased vision.
Epilepsy: some tumor patients have epilepsy symptoms, and can be early symptoms. Epilepsy begins in adults, the latter is generally symptomatic, mostly caused by brain tumors. If the drug is not easy to control or the nature of the attack has changed, the existence of brain tumor should be considered.
Vomiting: it is caused by the stimulation of the medullary vomiting center or vagus nerve. There is no nausea in the first place. It is jet.
