  What are the disorders associated with intracranial tumors that can be easily confused with mental disorders? Mental disorder associated with intracranial tumor is a disease caused by the growth of tumor in the brain. This disease may compress the nerves and then cause some mental disorders. So, what are the diseases that are confused with intracranial tumor with mental disorder? Let’s take a look at which diseases are similar to this disease.  This disease should be distinguished from hysteria, sleeping sickness, schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, mainly based on medical history, family history, clinical manifestation and treatment effect.  Neurosis In the early stage of brain tumor, symptoms similar to neurasthenia or other neurosis may appear, among which hysteria is especially prominent.  2.Schizophrenia Patients with brain tumor often have hallucinations, hallucinations, poor thinking, emotional indifference, delusions, lack of intention and some behavioral abnormalities, but these symptoms and course of the disease are fundamentally different from schizophrenia, in addition, schizophrenia lacks corresponding positive signs and positive results of laboratory tests and other auxiliary tests.  3, paralytic dementia These diseases are often difficult to distinguish in terms of clinical symptoms, but the disease has characteristic neurological signs and changes in serum and brain crest fluid that can be differentiated.  4. Infectious toxic psychosis Because both have clinical manifestations of intracranial hypertension and disorders of consciousness, they are easily confused and make the diagnosis difficult.  5. Seizures and hysteria About 20% of brain tumor patients have convulsions as the first symptom, which need to be distinguished from epilepsy, especially between epileptic psychogenic seizures and temporal lobe tumor psychogenic seizures, most importantly, the pattern of disease development, psychiatric factors and personality characteristics are all significant. The possibility of brain tumor should be considered in late onset epilepsy, however, the chance is not high, only 6%.  Other organic psychiatric diseases such as senile dementia, cerebral arteriosclerosis psychosis, chronic cranio-cerebral damage psychosis, etc. can be differentiated based on medical history, physical and neurological signs, clinical psychiatric symptoms, increased cranial pressure, and other examinations.  These are the diseases that are similar to intracranial tumors with mental disorders. Then, don’t confuse this disease with other diseases when examining, which will bring trouble to the treatment.
