What Is Meningioma?

Meningioma Treatment

A meningioma is a tumor that develops from the meninges, the protective layers surrounding the brain and spinal cord. Most meningiomas are benign (non-cancerous), but they can grow slowly and press on nearby brain structures.

Depending on their size and location, meningiomas may cause a range of symptoms and may require surgical removal.

Common symptoms include:

  • Persistent headaches

  • Vision changes or double vision

  • Seizures

  • Weakness in the arms or legs

  • Balance problems

  • Memory or cognitive changes

Early diagnosis and treatment by an experienced neurosurgeon can help prevent complications and improve outcomes.
