Benign meningiomas have the potential to live for more than a few decades or more.
Benign meningiomas grow relatively slowly and may not cause significant growth for decades, and many are in a state of survival with the tumor. Such patients often have no special clinical symptoms and are capable of taking care of themselves. If there are no accidents in the later stages of life, they may have a better life expectancy, or even have little difference from the general population.
If benign meningioma develops malignant lesions, it will have a greater impact on the survival period, and the condition may be dramatically deteriorated, which may cause hemiparesis, speech dysfunction, coma and other symptoms, and even cause the patient’s death.
It is recommended that patients with benign meningiomas should go to the neurosurgery department of the hospital in time, and under the guidance of the doctor, a treatment plan should be formulated, and the meningiomas can be surgically removed if necessary.
