The three main types of glioma include: ependymoma, astrocytoma and oligodendroglioma The first symptoms of a glioma are likely to be caused by increased intracranial pressure within the skull (headache, nausea, vomiting, seizures, and cranial nerve disorders) in sharp contrast to acoustic neuroma where these usually occur at last. Depending upon the area of brain involved in gliomas, there are focal neurological symptoms, e.g. seizures, hemiparesis, visual field defects, etc.
