Symptoms of brain nerve compression due to tumor
Disease description:
A while ago, my grandmother had a headache. After going to the hospital, she was found to have a brain tumor. Recently, her memory has become particularly poor, and I'm worried that the tumor might be pressing on her cranial nerves. What are the symptoms of a tumor compressing the brain's nerves?

Dr. Peng Xiaodong
When a tumor compresses the cranial nerves, it may cause symptoms such as visual impairment, reduced sense of smell, or hearing loss. Patients may also experience dizziness, headaches, or tinnitus. If the compression persists for a prolonged period, strabismus may develop. When patients exhibit the above symptoms, they should promptly seek medical evaluation to determine the location and specifics of the tumor, followed by timely and appropriate treatment.
