Brain tumor patients typically experience symptoms such as headaches, dizziness, and unsteady gait. The clinical manifestations of brain tumors, especially in the early stages, usually lack obvious signs. As time progresses, patients may develop headaches, dizziness, imbalance while walking, decreased appetite, and some may experience epileptic seizures. Certain patients may vomit, particularly in the morning or after breakfast. Other possible symptoms include increased head circumference, cracked pot sound (Macewen's sign), diplopia, esotropia, and changes in vision or visual fields. Additionally, some patients may exhibit excessive motor activity leading to hemiplegia affecting one side of the body.
