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.
