Common symptoms of a tumor of the cerebellum are:
1. Headache, accompanied by nausea and the accompanying vomiting. Neoplasm grows and eventually begins to block the fluid surrounding the brain. This leads to increased pressure in the head provoking severe pain attacks. And many a headache is accompanied by nausea and vomiting.
2. Gait disturbance. The cerebellum is responsible in the body just for the coordination of the muscles. In this case, increased intracranial pressure, boosted neoplasms violates organ function. As a result of impaired movement coordination, develop clumsiness. human gait as a result of changes, becomes shaky, uneven.
3. Dilated pupils, loss of peripheral vision
. This is due to intracranial damage nerves. Posterior fossa by volume is very low, the tumor grows and fills it almost completely. As a consequence of nerve injury occurs, the deviation of the eyeball. Vision becomes blurred. Furthermore, the facial muscles are weakened, disturbed sensitivity person can be lost and mouthfeel even hearing.It should also be borne in mind that the cerebellum is the main department of the central nervous system of the person. Therefore, a tumor of the cerebellum can cause dysmetria in which the patient loses the ability to properly assess distance (it stops in the wrong places, where necessary, by putting the items outlined surfaces, and etc.). Neoplasm may also cause ataxia (a manifestation of the coordination of movements), when a person walks with legs wide apart. Often patients have paralysis of eye movements.
All of these symptoms significantly impair quality of life and require immediate medical intervention, comprehensive examination, which should not be delayed.
