Brain tumors
… Symptoms of brain tumors (which are often the same symptoms for brain metastases) include:
headache (when a tumor presses on surrounding brain tissue)
nausea and vomiting
seizures (
speech problems, impaired vision, weakness in parts of the body and trouble walking, general confusion (when a tumor affects these functional areas of the brain)
Symptoms of spinal cord tumors include:
pain or numbness
motor problems
difficulty controlling bowel and/or bladder function
