How Modern Neurosurgery Is Making Brain Tumour Treatment Safer Than Ever
Bengaluru: Brain tumours are one of the most complex neurological conditions, often showing up with symptoms we might just brush off as everyday health concerns.
On World Brain Tumour Day, commemorated every year on June 8, ETV Bharat spoke to several neurosurgeons about symptoms, treatment and the latest advances in the field.
Dr Chaitanya Prabhu K, Consultant, Neurosurgery, Fortis Hospital in Yeshwanthpur, Bengaluru, said that one should not ignore headaches that won't go away, especially if they are getting worse or are worse in the morning.
He said the other signs to look for are seizures for no obvious reason, persistent nausea or vomiting, blurred or double vision, weakness or numbness in the arms or legs, difficulty with speech, memory problems, personality or behavioural changes, balance problems and hearing problems.
