WHAT ARE THE SYMPTOMS OF A MEDULLOBLASTOMA TUMOUR?
The signs and symptoms of a medulloblastoma are usually caused by increased pressure in the brain.
Symptoms may include:
abrupt onset of headaches, especially in the morning
nausea and/or vomiting
feeling extremely tired
loss of balance and co-ordination which may lead to difficulty walking
abnormal eye movements
blurry vision caused by swelling of the optic disc at the back of the eye (papilloedema)
In some cases, the tumour can spread to the spinal cord, causing another set of symptoms, such as back pain, an inability to control the bowels and bladder and difficulty walking.
