Non-cancerous brain tumors are potentially hazardous depending on size and location. The presence of types helps in the treatment.
Meningiomas are the most common benign brain tumor, arising from the meninges that cover the brain.
Schwannomas arise from Schwann cells, which cover nerve fibers; vestibular schwannoma is an especially striking example, often affecting hearing.
These are tumors originating in the pituitary gland. They are known to disrupt the endocrine balance resulting in various endocrine disorders.
These are cancers arising from blood vessel cells and tend to cause discomfort mainly in the form of headaches or loss of balance. They occur in the cerebellum.
These are often at the pituitary gland but sometimes interfere with vision and hormone levels, especially in children and adolescents.
These are benign neoplasms arising in the brain which should be monitored and planned individually according to characteristics for all-around care and safety of the patient.
