Mental slowing, forgetfulness and personality change are frequent accompaniments of aging; such symptoms are also the first warning signals of an intracranial tumor. Cerebral metastases, malignant astrocytomas and benign meningiomas are the most common types of brain tumor in patients over 65 years of age. The symptoms and signs of a brain tumor depend primarily on its location and on intracranial pressure. In addition to producing dementia and seizures, tumors occasionally present in an apoplectic fashion and mimic the onset of stroke.
思维迟缓、健忘和性格改变是衰老常见的伴随症状；这些症状也是颅内肿瘤的首批警示信号。脑转移瘤、恶性星形细胞瘤和良性脑膜瘤是65岁以上患者中最常见的脑肿瘤类型。脑肿瘤的症状和体征主要取决于其位置和颅内压。除了导致痴呆和癫痫发作外，肿瘤偶尔也会以中风样方式出现并酷似中风的发作。
