SILENT

BRAIN TUMOR

YEARS WITHOUT NOTICE?

WHAT IS A SILENT TUMOR?

Asymptomatic brain masses, benign or malignant, often found incidentally.

WHY DO THEY GO UNDETECTED?

Location, slow growth, and brain plasticity can mask symptoms for years.

MOST COMMON SILENT TUMORS

Meningioma, pituitary microadenoma, vestibular schwannoma, low-grade glioma.

GROWTH RATE: MONTHS TO DECADES

Slow growers may stay silent for years; aggressive ones declare early.

HOW ARE THEY FOUND BY CHANCE?

Incidental findings on MRI/CT done for other reasons: small, symptom-free lesions.

SUBTLE SIGNS YOU MIGHT MISS

Trouble focusing, memory slips, personality change, unexplained fatigue.

WHEN SILENCE BREAKS: FIRST SYMPTOMS

Seizures, sudden severe headache, vision/hearing changes are red flags.

WHY IS DIAGNOSIS HARD?

Routine exams can miss them; contrast MRI and targeted imaging are key.
