Brain tumours
They vary in their malignancy, from almost benign to highly malignant.
Brain tumours are space occupying lesions within the cranial cavity, taking up space that should be occupied by the normal cranial contents and thus raise the intracranial pressure
Causes
Mutations (changes) or defects in genes may cause cells in the brain to grow uncontrollably, causing a tumor.
environmental cause of brain tumors is having exposure to large amounts of radiation from X-rays or previous cancer treatment.
Pathophysiology
:Brain tumors may originate from neural elements within the brain, or they may represent spread of distant cancers. Primary brain tumors arise from CNS tissue and account for roughly half of all cases of intracranial neoplasms. The remainder of brain neoplasms are caused by metastatic lesions.
