1. In the early stages, there are often neurasthenic syndromes such as headache and lack of strength, along with mild disturbances in orientation, comprehension, memory, and emotions.
2. Acute brain tumor-related psychiatric symptoms are primarily characterized by disturbances in consciousness, as well as slowed thinking, emotional apathy, behavioral disorganization, or stupor. Mental dullness often appears when intracranial pressure increases and fluctuates with changes in intracranial pressure. Slowly progressing brain tumors frequently exhibit symptoms like recent memory decline or Korsakoff syndrome, deficits in comprehension, judgment, and calculation, as well as emotional, perceptual, personality disorders, and behavioral abnormalities.
3. Common signs include increased intracranial pressure, vertigo, paralysis, convulsive seizures, and localized neurological signs.
4. Auxiliary examinations refer to the section on brain tumors in intracranial tumor-related content.
