Question: what are brain tumours acctually doing to your brain?

Keywords:

  1. Depending on where they are, they can disrupt different functions, but the most problematic thing is how much space they’re taking up in the skull.

    There is only so much room for brain in there and when there gets to be too much things start getting squashed or worse: pushed out of the skull (ew!). That last think is called herniation and it’s incredibly dangerous. Plus, brain tumors can push on nerves and disrupt their function as well.

    Thanks for the question
