Among the head tumor diseases, meningioma is a disease with a high morbidity and mortality rate. Meningioma is a derivative originating from the meninges and meningeal gaps and mostly occurs around the age of 45. Many people will neglect their physical condition at this age because of the pressure of work and family. Even if some symptoms appear, they do not care, in fact, many of them are typical symptoms of meningioma: 1. Effects of meningioma on the skull Meningioma near the skull can often cause changes in bone quality. It can be manifested as thinning of the bone plate under pressure, or destruction of the bone plate, or even erosion through the bone plate to the subcapsular tendon membrane, and local elevation of the scalp, or thickening of the endosteal plate. The thickened skull may contain tumor tissue. 2. Symptoms of increased intracranial pressure are not obvious, especially in elderly patients. With the increasing popularity of CT examination, many patients only have mild headache, or even incidentally discovered as meningioma by CT scan. Because of the slow growth of the tumor, the tumor often grows very large while the clinical symptoms are not yet severe. Sometimes the patient’s fundus optic papillary edema is already severe and even secondary optic nerve atrophy is present, while the headache is not severe and there is no vomiting. It is worth noting that when the tumor in the dumb area grows very large and the brain tissue can no longer compensate for it, the patient will show signs of increased intracranial pressure, and the condition will deteriorate suddenly, and even brain herniation will appear in a short time. 3.Focal symptoms Because the tumor grows expansively, the patient often has headache and epilepsy as the first symptoms. Depending on the location of the tumor, vision, visual field, smell or hearing disorder and limb movement disorder may also appear. In elderly patients, epileptic seizures are especially common as the first symptom. Doctor’s tip: The appearance of the above symptoms indicates the health condition of the patient, so we should keep in mind these symptoms of meningioma and go to hospital for examination in time if they occur.
