The early warning signs of a brain tumour include:

  • Persistent headaches
  • New-onset seizures
  • Unexplained weakness or numbness
  • Vision changes
  • Speech difficulties
  • Balance problems
  • Noticeable changes in memory or personality

While these symptoms do not always indicate a brain tumour, they warrant prompt medical evaluation by a qualified neurosurgeon for accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment.
