Patients with ovarian cancer experiencing brain metastases are relatively uncommon in clinical settings. The primary symptom of brain metastasis is intracranial hypertension, which includes severe headaches, dizziness, nausea, and vomiting, including projectile vomiting during meals — all symptoms of increased intracranial pressure. Additionally, if there is significant brain swelling, the patient may experience weakness in the limbs on the opposite side of the body, similar to symptoms of paralysis seen in stroke patients. Furthermore, if the brain metastasis leads to the formation of a brain herniation, the patient may experience symptoms such as coma.
