Brain Tumor in Adults

When new and persistent headaches appear, along with changes in vision, speech, or strength on one side of the body, a neurological evaluation is advisable. A brain tumor in adults is an abnormal growth of cells inside the brain or its neighboring structures, which can be of different types and behaviors.
Common symptoms: headaches that change pattern, changes in vision or balance, memory problems or, in some cases, seizures.
Which specialist treats it? The neurologist studies the symptoms and, depending on the situation, the neurosurgeon takes part. If you have neurological symptoms that appear unusually or that progress, it's advisable to have a professional evaluate them without delay.
