What are the dangers of glioma

Brain glioma is extremely harmful to human health, and people need to pay attention to it and take early prevention measures. When relevant symptoms appear, everyone must not be careless, so as not to delay treatment. So what are the hazards of glioma? The following editor will explain it to you in detail.

The dangers of glioma

Mental disorders

It can be caused by progressive increase in intracranial pressure, or it can be the result of compression and destruction of the brain substance by tumors. In the early stage, the symptoms are generally mild, manifested as apathy, dullness, memory and comprehension impairment, etc. As intracranial pressure continues to increase, mental symptoms become more obvious, such as dementia, confusion, personality and behavior changes, etc.

Cause epilepsy

The incidence rate accounts for about 30% of brain tumors, and the cause is mostly due to direct stimulation or compression of the tumor. The seizure type is often localized, but it can also be a major seizure. The seizure is related to the location and nature of the tumor. For example, tumors in the motor area and its vicinity have a higher incidence of epilepsy. Glioma, astrocytoma and oligodendroglioma have a higher incidence rate.

Causes blindness

There are not many people who go blind suddenly due to brain tumors. Often, vision loss occurs first. If it is not treated promptly and effectively, it will gradually develop into blindness. Some children, and even a few adult patients, ignore the vision loss on one side, and the doctor finds that one eye is already blind during the examination. Some patients, especially the elderly, have eye diseases when brain tumors occur. When vision changes, they mistakenly think it is an eye disease, delay treatment, and develop into blindness.
