Intracranial Tumors

Intracranial tumors are abnormal growths that occur within the skull, either in the brain itself or surrounding tissues. They can be benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous) and may develop from brain cells, membranes, or other tissues. Symptoms often include headaches, seizures, vision or hearing issues, and changes in behavior or cognitive function. Diagnosis typically involves imaging tests like MRI or CT scans. Treatment options vary, including surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy, depending on the tumor type, size, and location, as well as the patient's health. Early detection and management are crucial for better outcomes.
