Detailed Answer:
Hello ! Thank you for using HealthcareMagic.
I have gone through your question.

The symptoms mainly depend on the severity of the condition.

Here are some psychological symptoms :

- Change in behavior- being too aggressive (irritability or lock in herself) , don't interact with others , strange behavior, emotional changes (mood swings ), depression , apathy, anxiety.

- Hallucination, disorganized thinking, delusions...

Neurological problems (will depend also how severe is it and which part of the brain is affected most):

- Headache , vomiting, seizure , altered sensorium, problem in the vision ( double vision, blurring etc.), weakness, numbness , memory loss, paralysis, difficult concentration , problem talking or hearing , balance problems ...

The treatment should be focused first on managing the main cause of the intra-cerebral pressure by the neurologist (neurosurgical) to prevent further damage .

Hope I have answered your question.
Let me know if you need any further clarifications, I'll be happy to help.
Take Care !
Dr Balliu!
