Brain vascular tumor, diagnosis and treatment

The main problem is changes in the walls of blood vessels in the brain. In a healthy person they consist of three layers:  

•internal;

•muscular;

•external. 

Internal changes, underdevelopment and external influences lead to the fact that the walls begin to become thinner. At the same time, the pressure of the blood flow remains unchanged. This causes the walls to bulge under load. Very often, a tumor is observed in places where blood vessels branch. Where blood redistribution occurs.  

What signs indicate the presence of cancer?

The tumor begins to noticeably increase. Reaching a certain size, it begins to have a serious effect on the brain. Here you should consider which department is affected. Symptoms related to the visual organs often occur. This may be the development of strabismus, the impossibility of convergence. In addition, there may be disturbances in the structure of the skull, which will be visible after an x-ray.  

Diagnostics

As noted earlier, the disease can be asymptomatic. That is why it is often discovered during an examination when a completely different disease is suspected. To make a diagnosis, you must have data from anamnesis, x-rays, MRI , and x-ray examination. If precise research methods are not available, then lumbar puncture can be used. 

How is the treatment done?

If the tumor is small, then you need to be constantly monitored by a specialist. A small aneurysm is not a reason for surgery. At the same time, you need to constantly monitor its changes. There are a number of measures that are aimed at control. It is necessary first of all to normalize cholesterol levels in the body and blood pressure. But it should be remembered that surgical intervention by surgeons may be required at any time.
