"Brain tumors can have many symptoms, some of which may seem unrelated or easily attributed to other, more benign conditions. However, seemingly harmless signs and symptoms can potentially indicate the presence of an underlying brain tumor. While classic symptoms such as headaches, seizures, and focal neurological deficits are well-recognized, there are a number of surprising indicators that are often overlooked or underestimated by patients and healthcare providers," Says Dr PN Ranjen, senior consultant, neurology, Indraprastha Apollo Hospitals.
