Meningioma advice
by kat454, Apr 29, 2008 03:26AM
Hi there,
just wondered if someone could possibly help. A few years ago after feeling dizzy, not being able to focus and spaced out I was sent for an MRI which came back saying I had a meningioma but they said my symptons were not connected with the tumour. After a few MRI's they said the meningioma was no longer visible and they left it at that and I have had no follow up appointments. Lately I have had similar feelings, last Monday I was in bed all day as I couldn't lift my head of the pillow and since then I have been light headded, spaced out, not a headache as such but like someone is pushing on my head and my memory isnt great. I dont know if I am reading too much into this, can meningioma's disappear by themselves. I don't want to waste the doctors time if I am being overly paranoid..
Any advice would be welcomed
Many Thanks

It is very prudent to thoroughly investigate the case in consultation with a neurologist. Although meningiomas may remain asymptomatic for a long time, they generally do not tend to disappear by themselves.
Since you already had been diagnosed with a meningioma, and are experiencing some symptoms again which may/may not be attributable to the meningioma (incase it exists), a thorough neurological examination and investigations are warranted at the earliest.
