What's the matter? What are the characteristics of brain tumors? Let's have a look! This article is compiled by sihai.com and reprinted with the source. The original link: http://www.4hw.com.cn/life/
A week ago, Mr. Zhao, 58, accompanied his wife to see her dizziness at the neurosurgery clinic in Houhu District of Wuhan Central Hospital. Li Jun, the neurosurgery director, initially ruled out the possibility of intracranial lesions after carefully asking about the condition and making a detailed physical examination. Mr. Zhao's wife just breathed a sigh of relief. Director Li Jun suddenly asked Mr. Zhao, 'is the shoe size bigger now than in the past? Have you felt that the appearance has changed a lot in recent years?'
Mr. Zhao replied that five years ago, he found that his appearance had changed slightly. A year ago, he found that his jaw was protruding, his lips were swollen, his skin was rough, his fingers and toes were thick, and his face was ugly. It doesn't matter if he thought he was ugly or not. It's just that he had to wear 44 yards of shoes when he used to wear 42 yards of shoes.
In fact, as soon as Mr. Zhao entered the clinic, Li Jun noticed the characteristics of his acromegaly.
Later, Mr. Zhao was given a brain MRI. The results showed that there was a quail egg size pituitary adenoma on his pituitary gland.
The morning before yesterday, after more than one hour's operation, director Li Jun successfully removed the pituitary tumor for him. At present, Mr. Zhao's recovery is good. After a period of symptomatic treatment, he can recover his previous appearance. This article is compiled by sihai.com and reprinted with the source. The original link: http://www.4hw.com.cn/life/
Director Li Jun introduced that the vast majority of patients with acromegaly had a small tumor in the pituitary gland, which led to excessive secretion of growth hormone, resulting in a series of changes in the body, the most obvious is the change in appearance. If the pituitary adenoma continues to grow, it will lead to vision loss and blindness in the light, and headache, vomiting, coma and even death in the heavy.
There was no other discomfort in the early stages of acromegaly, which led to many delays in treatment. If citizens find that their shoes are getting larger and larger, their cheekbones are becoming protruding, their forehead is becoming wider and wider, their voice is getting lower and lower, their fingers are getting thicker and their skin is getting rough, especially if young women have amenorrhea and milk secretion for unknown reasons, and men's inexplicable function is declining or azoospermia, they should be wary of pituitary adenoma.
What are the signs of brain tumors
Symptom 1: headache in the morning
When you wake up from sleep one night, you often have the heaviest headache. When you get up, it will gradually reduce. Generally, your headache can be relieved in the afternoon.
Symptom 2: jet vomiting
It usually occurs when the headache is severe, and the headache can be relieved after vomiting. This article is compiled by sihai.com and reprinted with the source. The original link: http://www.4hw.com.cn/life/
Symptom 3: vision loss, diplopia
In the early stage, it may be a temporary blackout, with a short-term visual loss. With the aggravation of the disease, it will gradually become a continuous visual decline, and finally it may be completely blind. Diplopia: that is, the imaging of two eyes cannot be overlapped, and any object can be seen as double shadow. At first, diplopia can only appear when the eyeball is fixed in a certain direction, and then it can appear in any direction. Finally, when the position of the two eyes is significantly asymmetric, diplopia can be reduced or even disappear.
Symptom 4: visual field defect
It usually shows bilateral temporal hemianopia, which can hinder the patient's behavior in severe cases.
Symptom 5: single eye prominent
That is, one side of the eyeball protrudes forward, which can affect the eyelid when it is serious, causing blepharoplasty and incomplete closure of the eyelid. 50% of the cases with unilateral exophthalmos are caused by intracranial diseases, the most common cause of which is brain tumor.
Sign 6: unilateral deafness
If there is no history of otitis media and trauma in middle-aged people, only one side of the hearing progressive decline, with or without tinnitus on the same side, mostly due to tumor compression of the auditory nerve.
Symptom 7: Epilepsy
It refers to the person who starts to attack after adulthood. If there is no trauma or other inducement, the intracranial tumor should be considered first. If the convulsion is confined to one side or starts from a certain limb, brain tumors should be considered in both adults and children.

Symptom 8: hemiplegia
There are two different situations, one is hemiplegia or hemiplegia, which shows that the diseased side of the body moves less or does not move, the other is ataxia of one side of the body, which shows that the action is stupid or unstable. If these two symptoms appear slowly and aggravate gradually, they may be brain tumor signals. The former is more common in cerebral hemisphere tumors, while the latter is the sign of cerebellar hemisphere tumors.
Symptom 9: acromegaly
It is a unique clinical sign of eosinophilic pituitary adenoma, which can be seen in adults, mainly manifested as thick hands and feet, protruding eyebrows and mandible, ugly face, and giant development in children.
Symptom 10: amenorrhea and lactation
Amenorrhea and lactation of non pregnant women of childbearing age are often the first symptoms of pituitary tumors. The male main performance is impotence and pubic hair, armpit hair, beard and so on shedding, subcutaneous fat thickening and so on.
