The clinical presentation of brain tumours depends largely upon the biological activity, the age of the patient and the site. The presentation may be with raised intracranial pressure and/or the gradual development of focal neurological signs. The increasing availability of computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging is changing the way patients with suspected tumours should be investigated.
