Meningiomas can be detected by CT.
Meningiomas will appear as localized round or oval and flat lesion tissue with clear borders on a skull CT, attached to the skull endplate or dura mater, and there may be bone destruction or hyperplasia of the endplate in the adjacent skull, which can be seen as significant enhancement on the CT. Meningiomas are denser than brain tissue and appear as hyperdense shadows on CT. Therefore, CT can detect meningioma.
Meningioma is a relatively common primary intracranial tumor, most of which are benign tumors and develop slowly. If the meningioma<2 cm and asymptomatic, it can be closely observed for the time being. If the tumor grows progressively or develops clinical symptoms, then it needs therapeutic intervention, and surgery is usually chosen as the main treatment option, supplemented by radiation therapy.
It is recommended that patients with suspected meningiomas should consult a doctor in time, and actively diagnose and treat the tumor under the doctor’s guidance, so as to avoid delaying the condition.
