The symptoms of brain tumors depend on tumor size, type, and location.

Symptoms may be caused when a tumor presses on a nerve or damages a certain area of the brain. They also may be caused when the brain swells or fluid builds up within the skull.

These are some of the most common symptoms of brain tumors:
  Headaches (usually worse in the morning)
  Nausea or vomiting
  Changes in speech, vision, or hearing
  Problems balancing or walking
  Changes in mood, personality, or ability to concentrate
  Problems with memory
  Muscle jerking or twitching (seizures or convulsions)
  Numbness or tingling in the arms or legs

These symptoms are not necessarily signs of a brain tumor-they can occur for many reasons. Only a doctor can diagnose and treat the problem.
