The types of neurological deficits that can occur depend on the location and size of the tumor, as well as the treatment modalities used. Common deficits include:
Motor Deficits: Weakness, paralysis, or loss of coordination can occur, especially if the tumor affects the motor cortex or spinal cord. Sensory Deficits: Loss of sensation, tingling, or numbness can occur if sensory pathways are involved. Cognitive Impairments: Memory loss, confusion, or difficulty concentrating can occur if the tumor or treatment affects the brain's cognitive centers. Speech and Language Issues: Tumors in areas like Broca's or Wernicke's area can lead to difficulties in speaking or understanding language.
