The brain is the center of life. All activities of life, until every detail, can only occur through a mechanism regulated by the brain. At the same time the brain must perform thousands of activities at once. When suddenly heard a horn from the back of the brain tells the foot lightning bolt to the edge, send the neck to look back, telling wide-eyed, telling the muscles strained to cope with an emergency situation, telling the heart to pump blood faster, sending the nose to keep breathing , and many more that should be regulated.
All that can be implemented simultaneously as regulated by the brain differently. Yes, the brain has many parts that have different functions. Broadly speaking, the brain is divided into three parts, namely a large brain (cerebrum), cerebellum (cerebellum), and brain stem (brain stem). Each section is divided into sections smaller, smaller, and smaller again. Like other parts of the body, the brain can be affected by the tumor or cancer. The difference is, if the rest of the body sometimes does not interfere with benign tumors and harmless, even benign brain tumors can be very disturbing and endangering lives.
A large part of the brain that has a regulatory function of different body makes tumors and brain cancer have a very varied symptoms. Symptoms that appear depend on the part of the brain where the tumor appeared.
Common symptoms of brain tumors and cancer are as follows:
Cerebral Symptoms General
Can be either mild mental changes (psychomotor asthenia), which can be felt by people with close relatives such as: irritability, emotional instability, forgetfulness, slowing of mental and social activity, loss of initiative and spontaneity, may be found anxiety and depression. These symptoms are progressive and can be found running at 2 / 3 of cases.
Head Pain
An estimated 1% of the causes of headaches are brain tumors and 30% of the initial symptoms of brain tumor is headache. The nature of head pain varies from mild and episodic to severe and throbbing, usually worse at night and on waking in the morning and in the situation where there is high intracranial pressure elevation. The existence of the psychomotor asthenia headache should be suspected brain tumor.
It should be suspected cause of seizures is a brain tumor when:
- Experiencing the status of epilepsy
Seizures observed in 70% of brain tumors in the cortex, 50% of patients with astrositoma, 40% in patients with meningioma, and 25% in glioblastoma.
