Hello,
As per our clinical experience, an extracranial lesion will not give rise to throwing up. So if persistent throwing up is there, an intracranial extension of the tumor should be considered and CT scan of the brain must be considered needed for precise evaluation and management.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
