Moderate or mild headache

Introduction According to the degree of headache, headaches can be divided into: (1) severe headache, common in trigeminal neuralgia, migraine and meningitis. (2) Moderate or mild headache, common in eye, nose, tooth lesions and brain tumors. Sometimes the nature of the headache can determine the cause of the headache. Such as primary trigeminal neuralgia manifested as facial paroxysmal, short-term electric shock-like pain. Vascular headaches are pulsating beating headaches. But clinically, certain types of headaches can be characterized by diversity. Intracranial tumors, also known as brain tumors, are still unknown. Tumors originate from the brain, meninges, pituitary gland, cranial nerves, cerebrovascular and embryonic residual tissues, and are called primary intracranial tumors. A malignant tumor organized by other organs of the body is transferred to the intracranial, called a secondary intracranial tumor. Brain tumors are diseases that cause moderate or mild headaches.

Cause

Etiology and pathogenesis of intracranial tumor formation: Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the formation of brain tumors is due to internal injuries and seven disorders, which cause visceral dysfunction, plus external invasion, cold and heat, turbidity, and long-term accumulation in a certain part of the body. to make. Experts have learned the strengths of the family. After painstaking research, the causes of brain tumors are summarized as internal and external, that is, internal quality factors or susceptibility factors, and external factors are predisposing factors or contributing factors, but they will not occur. He believes that brain tumors belong to the "headache" and "head wind" of the motherland medicine. The causes of the disease are mainly kidney deficiency, medullary dystrophic, liver and kidney homologous, kidney deficiency and liver deficiency, and liver wind movement. The sinister poisons the sputum, the sputum is turbid, the brain is blocked, and the blood stasis is stagnation. "The head is the sacred sacred sacred priest", the most sinister guilty, if you feel the six sinister evil, straight cerebral palsy or The evil spirits are on the coke, the gasification is unfavorable, the meridians are impassable, the blood stasis, the turbidity stop inside, the whole evil inside and outside, the crime is committed on the brain, and the knot is formed into a block, which is a brain tumor.

Tumor molecular biology research shows that there are two types of genes closely related to the occurrence and development of tumors. One is a tumor gene and the other is an anti-tumor gene. Activation and transient expression of anti-tumor genes induce tumor formation, and the presence and expression of anti-tumor genes contribute to the inhibition of tumorigenesis. Tumor genes can exist in normal cells and do not express tumor characteristics. When such cells are affected by tumorigenic factors, such as viruses, chemical tumorigenesis and radiation, tumor genes in cells are activated, and the phenotype of cells changes. The traits are expressed, and these cells rapidly expand to form a true tumor entity. It is currently believed that the factors inducing tumorigenesis include genetic factors, physical factors, chemical factors and tumorigenic viruses.

According to the clinical manifestations of the disease combined with X-ray film, cerebral angiography, ventriculography, gas angiography, CT, MRI, etc. can be diagnosed.

The following four aspects of pathophysiological processes are the causes of intracranial tumors that increase and increase the intracranial pressure: tumor volume exceeds intracranial pressure regulation compensatory capacity; reactive cerebral edema around the tumor; cerebrospinal fluid circulation obstruction; venous return obstruction . Headache, vomiting, and optic nerve head edema are the "three main symptoms" of increased intracranial pressure and the main clinical symptoms of intracranial tumors.

1. Headache: About 80% of patients are the most common early symptoms, but they are not the main basis for diagnosis. Anyone who can aggravate the increase of intracranial pressure can aggravate headache.

2, vomiting: has nothing to do with diet, more common in the morning. Vomiting is often accompanied by severe headaches, sometimes with jetting, but non-ejection vomiting is not uncommon.

3, optic nerve head edema: early no visual impairment, with the prolongation of the time, the development of the disease, the visual field of mind shrinking, the late optic nerve secondary atrophy, visual acuity decreased rapidly, which is also associated with optic neuritis caused by pseudo optic nerve nipple The main points of edema differentiation. Optic papilledema is an important objective basis in the "three main symptoms."

Differential diagnosis

Severe headache: Seen in a real headache, headache, critical illness, witnessed severe headache, even the brain is painful, the hands and feet are cold to the elbow and knee joint.
