Mine has just had a head CT as we were concerned about similar. His behaviour had become much more erratic overnight in May. Head shaking, hypersensitive to noise, strange eye reflexes, attacking other horses (very sweet horse), panicking in the field, scary out hacking, miserable to trot and canter in the arena. His test was clear so I'm still looking for the cause without any real idea of where to look. But he has never ever shown aggression to people. I have no doubt you are doing the right thing by yours if he is. But if they don't find a tumour don't go thinking you've done the wrong thing, whatever the cause you can't risk you or your staff.
(I should add that the cause of his aggression to other horses was the death of our old mare, the moment her body was loaded he flew across the field with teeth bared going at any horse who came near, after a few weeks this stopped and he is back to his friendly self)
