Symptoms Brain Disease:

In this page contains Brain Disease Symptoms. Previous web page or Disease in Brain web page explains major categories of brain disease and what are the symptoms can't explain in brain disease web page. So in this page it explain what are the symptoms for occur disease in brain.

Symptoms for Brain Disease:Infection

Various types of brain infections develop many different symptoms, which can depend on the age of the person, the type of bacteria, the type of infection, and the acuteness of the disease.
In general, people older than 2 years of age with acute bacterial infection develop high fever, severe headache, stiff neck, nausea, vomiting, discomfort looking into bright light, sleepiness, and confusion. Newborns and infants can be unusually fussy, irritable, and sleepy. They may feed poorly and not be comforted by holding. Seizures could be a late development of the disease.
Severe forms of bacterial meningitis, particularly meningococcal, could cause shock with complete loss of consciousness and coma and bring about a spreading purplish rash. A child could have bulging "soft spots" on the head and have a decreased muscle tone in arms and legs.
Someone with viral brain infections tends to appear somewhat less ill. Flu-like symptoms in addition to mild signs and symptoms outlined for each condition could develop.

Symptoms for arising Brain Disease Seizure:

In about 20% of people who have a seizure disorder, seizures are preceded by unusual sensations (called aura), such as the following:
1.Abnormal smells or tastes.
2.Butterflies in the stomach.
3.A feeling of the opposite feeling—something seems unfamiliar even though it is familiar in some way.
4.An intense feeling that a seizure is about to begin.
Almost all seizures are relatively brief, lasting from a few seconds to a few minutes. Most seizures last 1 to 2 minutes. When a seizure stops, people may have a headache, sore muscles, unusual sensations, confusion, and profound fatigue. These after-effects are called the postictal state. In some people, one side of the body is weak, and the weakness lasts longer than the seizure (a disorder called Todd paralysis).
Most people who have a seizure disorder look and behave normally between seizures. Some people bite their tongue and lose control of the bladder and/or bowels during a seizure. Symptoms vary depending on which area of the brain is affected by the abnormal electrical discharge, as in the following:
1.An intensely pleasant or unpleasant taste if the part of the cerebrum called the insula is affected.
2.Visual hallucinations if the occipital lobe is affected.
3.Inability to speak if the area that controls speech (located in the frontal lobe) is affected.
4.A convulsion (jerking and spasms of muscles throughout the body) if large areas on both sides of the brain are affected.
Other possible symptoms include numbness or tingling in a specific body part, brief episodes of unresponsiveness, loss of consciousness, confusion, and loss of muscle or bladder control. People may vomit if they lose consciousness. Symptoms also vary depending on whether the seizure is partial or generalized. About 70% of people have only one type of seizure.

Symptoms for arising Brain Disease Trauma:

Symptoms of a brain injury include:

Symptoms for Brain Tumors:

A brain tumor can occur in any part of the brain. It could be benign that may not increase in size or malignant that may increase in size as well as spread to other areas of the body.
A brain tumor can alter normal brain functions as well as damage healthy nerves and brain tissue. The symptoms that are accompanied by a brain tumor may give an idea regarding the location of the tumor.
Headaches:
This is one of the more common symptoms of brain tumor. Pain in any region of the skull is quite ordinary but it is not necessary that every person who suffers from headaches might have brain tumor.
Headache accompanied with dizziness, vomiting and nausea might indicate a tumor. Also, notice the time of the day when the pain gets worse or arises. Look for other possible signs like vision problems as well.
Behavioral Changes:
A primary indication of brain tumor is the change in the behavior of the affected individual. However, be sure to look out for specific other signs.
For instance, if your adolescent son tends to depict unusual behavior that doesn’t necessarily mean he has developed a tumor. Specific signs to notice include confusion, loss in memory and issues with concentration. If all these signs are present, a good idea would be to consult a neurologist just to be sure.
Other Diseases:
Signs that are indicative of other diseases or disorders could actually be caused by a tumor present in the brain. For instance, the discovery of an intracranial bleeding due to a fall. Seizures can also be caused due to the fall or bleeding.
It could be indicative of a tumor. If the person is having new seizures that weren’t present earlier or some underlying pathology causing seizures, it could possibly mean the tumor is letting out its damage on other parts of the body as well.
Speech Or Auditory Disturbances: Tumors that may arise in the Broca’s area of the brain may cause speech irregularities and hearing issues. These are the main indications for the presence of tumors.
However, it is best not to interpret things too soon because there could be a variety of things causing such abnormalities. Schedule a consultation with a neurologist as soon as possible to eliminate all your doubts.
Motor Control: A tumor in the motor regions of the brain affects the motor control of the individual. Loss of coordination, voluntary and fine movements may indicate a tumor of the motor regions of the brain.

Symptoms for Cerebrovascular Disease

A symptom is something the patient senses and describes, while a sign is something other people, such as the doctor notice. For example, drowsiness may be a symptom while dilated pupils may be a sign.
The signs and symptoms of cerebrovascular disease depend on the location of the hemorrhage, thrombus, or embolus and the extent of cerebral tissue affected. General signs and symptoms of a hemorrhagic or ischemic event include motor dysfunction, such as hemiplegia and hemiparesis.
Early in a cerebrovascular attack (CVA), the patient may experience flaccid paralysis, followed by increased muscle tone and spasticity. He may lose his gag reflex and ability to cough. He may have communication deficits, such as dysphagia, receptive or expressive aphasia, dysarthria, and apraxia. He also may develop spatial and perceptual deficits, such as the loss of half of his visual field (homonymous hemianopia) and the inability to recognize an object (agnosia).
Other signs and symptoms of a CVA include vomiting, seizures, fever, ECG abnormalities, confusion that leads to a complete loss of consciousness, labored or irregular respirations, apneic periods, increased blood pressure, and bowel and bladder incontinence.
Signs and symptoms specific to a hemorrhagic CVA include abrupt onset of a severe headache, nuchal rigidity, and rapid onset of complete hemiplegia. As the hematoma enlarges, the patient's neurologic deficits worsen from gradual loss of consciousness to coma.
Symptoms of a thrombotic CVA follow the "stroke in evolution" pattern and include the progressive deterioration of motor and sensory function, slow deterioration of speech, and lethargy. These signs and symptoms peak when edema develops, usually about 72 hours after the onset of the thrombotic event.
For a patient with an embolic CVA, signs and symptoms include a sudden onset of motor and sensory deficits, deteriorated speech, and headache on the side of the head where the embolism is occurring. If the embolus breaks into smaller pieces and the occlusion resolves, these signs and symptoms may dissipate.

Symptoms for Auto Immune Disease in Brain:

Because there are so many different types of autoimmune disease, the symptoms vary. However, most of them cause fatigue, fever, and general malaise (feeling ill). Symptoms worsen during flare-ups and lessen during remission.
Autoimmune diseases affect many parts of the body.
The most common organs and tissue affected are:
Joints
Muscles
Skin
Red blood cells
Blood vessels
Connective tissue
Endocrine glands
