Hi,

Thanks for consulting HealthcareMagic!

Nausea and vomiting, headache that gets better after vomiting, droopy eyelids, Seizures, Double vision, Balance problems are some of the common symptoms of brain stem tumors. However, presence of some of these necessarily does not mean that you may have brain stem tumor unless confirmed with CT of brain with contrast.

Brief Answer:
falling of the upper or lower eyelid.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Droopy eyelids means - falling of the upper or lower eyelid. The person may appear as if he is sleeping. I am talking about some one who persistently has this droopy eyelids and not a random episode that corrects immediately. It is quite normal to have 'one side of my eye lids just not wanting to open' when you wake up. As long as you have no droopy eye lids now, I would not relate that episode to brain stem tumor.

Wish you good health!
