Meningioma

Meningioma is a type of tumor that originates in the meninges, the protective membranes surrounding the brain and spinal cord. While usually slow-growing and often non-cancerous (benign), they can still cause significant issues by pressing on nearby brain structures. Symptoms might include headaches, vision changes, or seizures, depending on their location. Treatment often involves monitoring, surgery, or radiation therapy, especially if the tumor causes problems. Meningiomas are more common in women and can vary widely in behavior and impact, so personalized medical advice is essential for management and treatment decisions.
