The specific symptoms of a brain tumor depend on its size and location within the brain. They can be caused by a number of factors, including:

  • Increased pressure inside the skull

  • Damage to vital tissue

  • Swelling and fluid buildup (edema) around the tumor

  • Hydrocephalus, sometimes called "water on the brain," which results when the flow of cerebrospinal fluid is blocked and builds up in the brain
