What are the symptoms of glioma

There may be many friends who have not heard of the disease of glioma. Glioma is a tumor mainly occurring in the neuroectoderm. This tumor can damage the glial and nerve cells, and further affect the patient to cause symptoms such as headache, nausea and vomiting, and unstable standing. Therefore, everyone should pay attention to this disease.

1. Astrocytoma

The malignancy is not high, the growth is slow, the course of the disease is long, and the symptoms appear earlier when the lesions are located under the tentorium. The local symptoms of lesions in different parts are different, but the progressive chronic increase in intracranial pressure is the same. It is mainly treated with complete surgical resection, supplemented by radiotherapy + chemotherapy, and brain herniation occurs in the late stage.

2. Astroblastoma (Astrocytoma III)

The clinical manifestations are similar to those of astrocytoma, but the disease progresses faster, with an average course of about one and a half years.

3. Glioblastoma multiforme (astrocytoma IV)

The tumor is highly malignant, grows fast, and has a short course of 3 months on average. Some tumors develop with bleeding, and symptoms of increased intracranial pressure are obvious. Many patients also have epileptic seizures. Localized symptoms are prominent and develop rapidly, with corresponding symptoms occurring depending on the location of the tumor.

4. Ependymoma

Occurs in the ependymal cells of the ventricular system and the underlying glial epithelial cells. It is more common in children and young people. It is located in the ventricles and may extend into the brain parenchyma. The tumor is large and occasionally multiple. The average course of the disease is one year. Those located in the fourth ventricle usually have a shorter course. The disease is often manifested by symptoms such as increased intracranial pressure, such as headache and vomiting.

5. Medulloblastoma

It is a common type of brain tumor in children, mostly located in the cerebellar vermis, protruding into the fourth ventricle or filling the ventricle, forming obstructive hydrocephalus. There may be bleeding in the tumor. The disease is characterized by headache, vomiting, etc., and is also accompanied by unstable gait and standing.
