  (0.8351)   Meningioma removed by surgery Dec.1999. Meningioma recurred and removed by surgery Jan.2002.Treated with a course of radiotherepy May/June.What are the chances of further recurrance.
  (0.7967)   My father was diagnosed with Benign Meningioma four years ago. He underwent a brain surgery, gamma knife, radiation, chemotherapy, clinical trial drugs. About three months ago we found that it turned into Malignant Aggressive Meningioma. He just had two brain surgeries in the past 3 months and he is experiencing many problems. The tumors are so big they are growing out of his head. Plus he had two blood clots in his brain, get seizures, memory loss, he cannot walk, and a lot of other things. Now, the doctors saw some spots in his lungs and we will get the results on that soon. I just want someone to tell me why this happens. I want to know about the neurons, the cells, the dentrites, anything you can tell me that would make me understand how all this happens. I am 19 years old, and I would like to know if this could be passed to me and if I should go see a specialist or something. Thanks you so much for your time.
  (0.7967)   What is a menangioma and can it affect behavior?
  (0.7742)   Hello. I~d like to ask a question about Meningioma which is in an inoperable site- the Cavernous Sinus. It apparently can only be ~de-bulked~ if radiation does not slow it down or shrink it. My question is, does this mean that prognosis is not very good? Is a 4cm tumor in that region classed as big? Thankyou for your help.
  (0.7742)   can you tell me what the best treatment is for a Meningioma tumor in the optic sheath?
  (0.7742)   I had a Meningioma removed 12/6/01. My rt eye turns in. At first I was told after the swelling goes it will be normal. Now they are saying the muscles are weak and I will need surgery. Has anyone else had this happen. I have to wear a patch.
