The difference of brain tumor symptoms when they are in different parts of the brain. Stands to reason when we know that different parts of the brain control different things. Also you need to watch out for personality changes with brain tumors, that is the scariest thing when someone's personality changes.

Difficulty with numbers (doing simple calculations) Occipital lobe - Loss of vision on one side. Temporal lobe - Fits may cause strange sensations: a feeling of fear or intense familiarity (dé jà vu), strange smells or blackouts. Speech difficulties and memory problems. Cerebellum - Lack of co-ordination which affects walking and speech (dysarthria), unsteadiness, flickering involuntary movement of the eyes (nystagmus). Vomiting and neck stiffness.

Brain cancer is now-a-days very common. It is observed both in males and females. There are no proper symptoms seen but the main signs and symptoms of brain tumor are headaches, ungainliness, seizures, feeling weak, vomiting etc. This does not necessarily mean that the person is having brain tumor, it may also be an indication of some other disease but these symptoms are quite definite. There are various tests conducted to detect this type of tumor like CT scan, MRI scan etc.
