The exact cause of anaplastic astrocytoma is still unknown, but factors like genetics, immune system abnormalities, and exposure to ultraviolet rays may be associated with the tumor. Anaplastic astrocytomas are grade III tumors that grow in size and spread to surrounding tissues. Early symptoms of ascites may include headaches, blurred vision, seizures, memory loss, nausea, and vomiting.
