What are the symptoms of a brain tumor?

Some people with a brain or central nervous system tumor have no symptoms. In some cases, doctors discover a tumor during treatment for another issue.

As a brain tumor grows and presses on surrounding nerves or blood vessels, it may cause symptoms. Signs and symptoms of a brain tumor vary depending on the tumor’s location and type, size and what the affected part of the brain controls. They can include:

• Headaches that are ongoing or severe; or that occur in the morning or go away after vomiting.
• Behavior or personality changes.
• Confusion.
• Difficulty with balance or coordination.
• Trouble concentrating.
• Nausea and vomiting.
• Numbness, weakness or tingling in one part or side of the body or face.
• Problems with hearing, vision or speech.
• Seizures.
• Unusual sleepiness.
• Trouble with memory, thinking, speaking or understanding language.
