TUMORS Brain and spinal cord tumors are abnormal growths of tissue found inside the skull or the bony spinal column. Benign tumors are noncancerous, and malignant tumors are cancerous. The CNS is housed within rigid, bony quarters (ie., the skull and spinal column). so any abnormal growth, whether benign or malignant, can place pressure on sensitive tissues and impair function. Brain Stroke or CVA - The sudden death of some brain cells due to lack of oxygen when the blood flow to the brain is impaired by blockage or rupture of an artery to the brain leading to impairment of brain functions.
