The most obvious signs for patients with breast cancer brain metastasis are headache caused by increased intracranial pressure, vomiting and other symptoms, mental symptoms, focal neurological dysfunction and epilepsy.
1. Headache: the first manifestation of most patients is headache.
2. Increased intracranial pressure: mainly due to the compression caused by oversized intracranial tumor, which manifests as headache, intellectual changes, nausea and vomiting.
