Intracranial neoplasm

Tinnitus - Intracranial neoplasm Factor

The RMA has defined an intracranial neoplasm as "a benign or malignant neoplasm affecting the brain, meninges, skull or cranial nerves." Basically this encompasses cancers or tumours, whether originating in the brain or spreading to the brain from a primary source elsewhere in the body. These are all serious medical conditions and should be recorded in the medical documents. You should seek medical advice if you are unsure whether or not the veteran has an intracranial neoplasm.
