In most patients with brain tumor, manifestations are due to a combination of increased intracranial pressure and focal changes in brain function. Specific signs and symptoms depend more on the location of the tumor than its histology, and tumors affecting vital sites in the brain may cause rapid deterioration and death. Increased intracranial pressure alone may blunt the intellect and cause confusion and memory difficulties. In some cases, confusion is caused by the effects of the therapeutic agents.
在大多数脑肿瘤患者中，临床表现是由颅内压升高和脑功能局灶性改变共同引起的。具体的体征和症状更多地取决于肿瘤的位置而非其组织学类型，影响脑重要部位的肿瘤可能导致病情迅速恶化甚至死亡。单纯颅内压升高可能会使智力迟钝，引起意识模糊和记忆障碍。在某些情况下，意识模糊是由治疗药物的作用所致。
