Headache in Brain Tumors - 02/04/24

The prevalence of brain tumors in patients with headache is very low; however, 48% to 71% of patients with brain tumors experience headache. The clinical presentation of headache in brain tumors varies according to age; intracranial pressure; tumor location, type, and progression; headache history; and treatment.
