    This document discusses the pathophysiology of brain tumors. It outlines predisposing factors like gender, age, and heredity that can increase risk. Precipitating factors like viral infections and pregnancy can trigger tumor formation. Ionizing radiation, head trauma, diet, and other exposures can cause cellular damage and mutations that lead to abnormal cell growth and invasion. As the tumor grows, it causes signs and symptoms by compressing brain tissue and disrupting function. If left untreated, the tumor will continue progressing, causing increased pressure, ischemia, edema, and ultimately death.
