SYMPTOMS AND SIGNS Generalized symptoms caused by raised intracranial pressure Focal symptoms caused by invasion, ischemia and compression False localizing symptoms caused by shifts of cerebral structures
GENERALIZED SYMPTOMS AND SIGNS HEADACHE VOMITING DROWSINESS ( VERTIGO AND DIZZINESS) VISUAL OBSCURATION PERSONALITY CHANGE CONFUSION PAPILEDEMA APATHY

DIAGNOSIS BRAIN TUMOR HISTORY GENERAL PHYSICAL EXAMINATION NEUROLOGIC EXAMINATION LABORATORY FINDING, ESPECIALLY IMAGING
Laboratory findings IMAGING CT Scan MRI Magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) Fungtional MRI BIOPSY Defenitive diagnosis
DIFFRENTIAL DIAGNOSIS OF HEMATOMA ABCESS GRANULOMA BRAIN TUMORS PARASITIC INFECTION CYSTYCIRCOSIS VASCULAR MALFORMATION MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS CEREBRAL INFARCS
Therapy of Intra Cranial Tumors Definitive therapy Surgery Biopsi, resection Radiation External beam Streotactic radiosurgery Heavy particles Brachytherapy Chemotherapy Parentral, lokal Experimental modalities Supportive therapy
Experimental modalities Angiogenesis inhibitor Growth factor inhibitor Diffrentiating agents Immunotherapy Gene therapy Antisense oligonucleotide
Supportive Therapy Anticonvulsant Corticosteroids Anti-thrombosis thrombosis agent Psychotropic agents Physical therapy
Goals of Surgery Establish the diagnosis Cure the patient Decrease tumor burden Relieve symptoms Improve neurologic fungtion Extend duration and quality of live
Basic concepts in cancer chemotherapy Chemotherapeutic agent kill only a percentage of cancer cell Some drugs kill only dividing cells Multiple drugs with differing site of action are better than a single drugs High dosee are better than low doses
Brain tumors anticonvulsant Prophylaxis -- does not prevent first seizure -- probably useful in perioperative period Treatment -- efficacy unclear -- side effects more commons -- hard to control levels -- best drug unknown
Advantages and Disadvantages of corticosteroid Advantages -- control neurologic symptom by reduce edema -- decrease acute RT toxicity -- relieve emesis from chemotherapy -- oncolytic (lymphoma) Disadvantages -- side effects common -- decrease chemotherapy entry
