Head Tumor Symptoms
9. Seizures
Messages from the brain are sent with the help of neurons, a specialized type of cell that transmits information from one cell to another. They are packed tightly together in the brain and it is largely down to the vast number of neurons in the brain that our brains are as powerful as they are.
A head tumor can push against nearby neurons, or take them over completely, and this can affect the signals that are sent from the brain. These signals can cause the muscles to contract and relax rapidly, causing what is known as a seizure. Seizures can be dangerous and they are a sign that the patients tumor is at an advanced stage.
