[Diagnosis of early stage of brain tumors].
There are two points to find the brain tumor in early stage; the first is cautious history taking and neurological examination, the second is to choice appropriate image diagnoses. If one recognized progressive neurological sign and symptom, mental disorder and/or epilepsy, brain tumor should be considered and be ruled out. The CT scan, especially enhanced CT, is a powerful for discovering brain tumor.
