By Dr. Atul Sharma β€” Neuro, Brain & Spine Specialist, Jalandhar

🩺 Understanding Brain Tumors

A brain tumor is an abnormal growth of cells within the brain or its surrounding structures. Tumors can be **benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous)** β€” both can affect brain function due to the limited space inside the skull.

With today’s medical advancements, most brain tumors can be diagnosed early and treated successfully through a combination of modern neurosurgical techniques and medical therapies.

⚠️ Common Symptoms of Brain Tumors

Watch for these warning signs that may indicate a brain lesion or tumor:

  • Persistent or early-morning headaches
  • Vomiting or nausea without other cause
  • Blurred or double vision
  • Weakness or numbness in limbs
  • Seizures or fits (even in adults without history)
  • Speech difficulty or personality changes
  • Loss of balance or coordination problems

If any of these symptoms persist, it’s crucial to consult a neurologist or neurosurgeon immediately for evaluation.

🧠 Diagnosis of Brain Tumors

Early and accurate diagnosis helps achieve the best results. Investigations include:

  • **MRI Brain with Contrast** – gold standard imaging
  • CT Scan – for emergencies or bone involvement
  • Hormone Tests – for pituitary tumors
  • Biopsy / Histopathology – to confirm tumor type

πŸ”¬ Modern Treatment Options

2. Microsurgical Tumor Removal
