Pathophysiology of Brain Tumor

Precipitating Factors: Unknown Cause -Familial Incidence -Immunosuppression

Predisposing Factors: -Exposure to Radiation

Space Occupying Lesion

-Cell proliferation -Fluid Accumulation

Enlarging of Tumor

Cerebral Edema

Brain Tissue is compressed

Increased Intracranial Pressure

Blood Flow will altered

Herniation Of the Brain

Ischemia

Necrosis

Neurological Deficits

* Signs and symptoms will depend on the location of the tumor
