It discusses the factors determining symptoms and signs, neurologic symptoms and signs, primary intra- and extra-axial tumors, and brain metastases. The symptoms and signs of a brain tumor resemble those seen in other focal neurological diseases, but they can also be generalized and nonspecific, ...
What AreSymptomsand Signs of Brain Cancer? Not all brain tumors cause symptoms, and some (such as tumors of the pituitary gland, some of which cause no symptoms) are found mainly after death, with the death not caused by the brain tumor. The symptoms of brain tumors are numerous and not...
Symptoms and signs The presenting symptoms and signs depend on the neuroanatomic structures disrupted by the metastasis. Some lesions present slowly, with progressive headache or cognitive dysfunction. Others present acutely with seizures. Hemorrhage into metastases may produce sudden severe headache, coma...
The neurologic signs and symptoms caused by a brain metastasis can be divided into two categories: focal and generalized (table 11.1). Focal symptoms include hemiparesis or hemiplegia, visual field deficits, aphasia, focal seizures and ataxia; they usually identify the site of the metastasis but ...

Signs and Symptoms Presenting complaints of patients with an intracranial neoplasm tend to be similar for primary brain tumors and intracranial metastases. The onset of symptoms usually is insidious, but an acute episode may occur with bleeding into the tumor, or when an intraventricular tumor suddenl...
Brain metastases during the course of a malignant disease are a hallmark of incurable disseminated disease. This chapter describes the management of patients with metastatic disease in the brain parenchyma, diagnosis, prognosis and medical management, and specific treatment modalities. The chapter also di...
