The cerebrum, the largest part of the brain, contains two cerebral hemispheres and is divided into four lobes where specific functions occur:
The cerebellum, or "little brain" is located beneath the cerebrum. The cerebellum is the back part of the brain responsible for coordination and balance. The brain stem, which is the lowest portion of the brain and connects to the spinal cord, controls involuntary functions essential for life, such as the beating of the heart and breathing.
The meninges are the membranes that surround and protect the brain and spinal cord. There are three meningeal layers, called the dura mater, arachnoid, and pia mater.
There are more than 100 types of primary brain tumors. For a complete listing of their names and incidence, please refer to the Central Brain Tumor Registry of the United States. For practical purposes, this review is divided into glioma and non-glioma types of tumors. Gliomas. Gliomas as a group are considered the most common type of brain tumor. A glioma is a tumor that grows from a glial cell, which is a supportive cell in the brain. There are two types of supportive cells: astrocytes and oligodendrocytes. Therefore, most gliomas are called either astrocytoma or oligodendroglioma, or a mixture of both. Gliomas are graded (how much the tumor appears like normal brain tissue) from I to IV based on their degree of aggressiveness. A grade I glioma is a benign (non-cancerous) tumor, while grades II through IV are tumors with an increasing degree of aggressiveness and are therefore considered increasingly malignant (cancerous) in potential.
Non-glioma tumors. Non-glioma tumors begin in other types of cells in the CNS, and are described as either benign or malignant.
About 5% of all brain tumors cannot be assigned an exact type.
Recognising these signs early can help you seek timely treatment and achieve the best possible outcomes.
