Presentation and diagnosis of brain tumours.
The clinical presentation of brain tumours depends largely upon the biological activity, the age of the patient and the site. The presentation may be with raised intracranial pressure and/or the gradual development of focal neurological signs. The increasing availability of computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging is changing the way patients with suspected tumours should be investigated.
