10 Symptoms of a Pituitary Tumor
Symptom #4: Vomiting
Vomiting or puking refers to the involuntary expulsion of stomach contents through the mouth and nose. It is a common symptom that can be observed in food poisoning, gastroenteritis, and motion sickness. It can also occur if there is increased intracranial pressure which may occur due to a pituitary tumor.
Other associated symptoms of increased intracranial pressure include altered level of consciousness, back pain, ocular palsies, papilledema, and headache. Vomiting occurs in increased intracranial pressure due to the pressure on the area postrema, a medullary structure in the brain that controls vomiting.
