    Pathophysiology Brain Tumor

    Uploaded by

    Clarence Bravio
    The document discusses neurofibromatosis type 2, which causes uncontrolled cell division leading to schwannoma tumors in the brain. The tumors can cause severe headaches by increasing pressure and impeding blood flow. Symptoms vary depending on the location of the tumor but include dysmetria, muscle weakness, ataxia, and loss of balance.
