The symptoms of a meningioma are usually the result of the pressure of the tumor pressing on part of the brain. This can lead to seizures, loss of control of muscles, loss of language use, and a wide variety of other neurological symptoms. Diagnosis is usually with a CT Scan with contrast. Surgery is usually the preferred course of treatment when necessary as resection of the tumor usually results in a permanent fix. Inoperable tumors can usually be treated with radiation therapy. Chemotherapy is usually ineffective.

abstract
  • The symptoms of a meningioma are usually the result of the pressure of the tumor pressing on part of the brain. This can lead to seizures, loss of control of muscles, loss of language use, and a wide variety of other neurological symptoms. Diagnosis is usually with a CT Scan with contrast. Symptomatic menigiomas are usually treated like any other cancer. However, if a meningioma is found and is asymptomatic, treatment is usually contra-indicated as the possible treatments may cause more damage than the tumor will. Instead, the patient will usually be monitored and observed with education about possible symptoms that would rate a visit to a hospital. Surgery is usually the preferred course of treatment when necessary as resection of the tumor usually results in a permanent fix. Inoperable tumors can usually be treated with radiation therapy. Chemotherapy is usually ineffective.
