What are the symptoms of parietal tumors

There are two main categories of clinical symptoms caused by parietal tumors: first, symptoms of increased intracranial pressure, and second, neurological localization symptoms. Symptoms of increased intracranial pressure are mainly headache, vomiting and visual impairment, which can be seen in more than 90% of patients, and generally aggravated in a chronic and progressive manner. The early or late appearance and severity of symptoms are closely related to the location and nature of the tumor and the age of the patient. Headache is caused by the increase of intracranial pressure which stimulates and pulls the meningeal vessels and nerves. Vomiting often occurs with headache, mostly in the form of jet. Optic disk edema and vision loss are objective signs of increased intracranial pressure, and in severe cases, combined with fundus hemorrhage. Neurological localization symptoms are mainly manifested by the fact that tumors located in the parietal lobe can cause various degrees of pain, temperature and proprioceptive deficits.
