Small meningiomas usually refer to meningiomas with a diameter of less than 3cm and are basically benign tumors that require prompt medical treatment upon detection.
If the growth rate of meningioma is not fast, and the symptoms caused by it are very mild or without any symptoms, then conservative treatment can be chosen, and regular follow-up observation is sufficient. However, if the patient is relatively young and the tumor grows in the functional area, or if the tumor is large and causes obvious symptoms, surgery should be performed as soon as possible.
Besides, the treatment principle of meningioma is early detection and early treatment. When the tumor is small in size, it is relatively simple to perform surgery, but when the tumor grows to a large size, it may be close to the surrounding tissues, blood vessels and nerves, and the difficulty of surgery will be increased at that time.
It is recommended that patients with small meningiomas should seek medical treatment in time, and the doctor should formulate appropriate treatment plan according to the actual condition of the patients and follow the doctor’s instructions to actively carry out the treatment in order to improve the prognosis.
