Is it serious to have a meningioma? How long can you live with meningioma

Although the vast majority of meningiomas are benign, malignancy is not excluded. There are many symptoms of tumors on the barley website, and the landlord can go and see them. However, it is still recommended to go to the hospital for examination as soon as possible, the illness can be big or small, and the early examination is reassuring.

Hello, meningioma is a benign tumor, which can be cured as long as it is surgically removed, and basically does not affect the patient very much.

It is still necessary to go to the hospital for a check-up as soon as possible, and it cannot be delayed.

Agree with Lou Yi, go to the hospital early and follow the doctor's advice.

Meningioma is a common intracranial tumor, most of which are benign tumors, and a small number of meningiomas are malignant tumors. However, a small number of meningiomas located in special sites can be life-threatening, such as foramen magnuma meningioma, slope meningioma, etc., because this site is very critical and the location is relatively deep.

The first thing to see is whether it is benign, generally there are few malignants, if it is malignant, then it is needed, surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy.

If it is benign, it should be decided according to the size of the meningioma, and if it is small, it is enough to make a coffee knife, and the sin will be less. (No craniotomy required).

If it is relatively large, it is necessary to have a craniotomy, and if the cut is very close to the nerve and blood vessels, it is necessary to do a coffee knife.

As long as the surgery is successful, the recovery period will be the same as a normal person.

Because the meningioma is in the brain, very close to the nerve, if the operation or the meningioma itself is attached to the nerve, it may be difficult to operate, and if some nerves are touched during removal, the normal use of some organs may be affected after surgery. Generally, no, because if it is relatively close, the meningioma is completely removed after craniotomy and then irradiation through a Kama knife.

But if you don't have surgery all the time, the meningioma will get bigger and bigger, compressing the nerves, and there will be some dangers.

"The key to how many years a benign meningioma can live after surgery depends on how big the benign meningioma is, whether the operation is completely removed, whether there are serious complications after the operation, and where the benign meningioma is. If the patient is a relatively simple meningioma with a small convex surface of the brain, after the operation, he will be able to live as a normal person without much change in the survival cycle.

Meningioma is a benign tumor, and observation is recommended if there are no symptoms**, and timely surgery is recommended after symptoms appear**.

Brain tumors are also divided into benign tumors and malignant tumors, and generally malignant tumors require chemotherapy and surgery. Benign tumors should be based on the location and severity of the impact of benign tumors on the human body, and corresponding measures should be taken. Some malignant tumors are serious, there may not be much chance, how long can the disease survive, according to the nature of the tumor, the size of the tumor, the first plan of the tumor, and the specific location of the tumor, there is no specific answer.

Meningioma accounts for a high proportion of cranial tumors, about 20 30, and the incidence is second only to glioma, but the vast majority of meningiomas are benign, that is, the growth rate is slower, there is a capsule, and the vast majority can be surgically removed or controlled, and most of them can be removed cleanly. For meningioma, surgical resection is the main method. In principle, complete resection should be sought, and the meninges and bone invaded by the tumor should be removed in order to **.

Meningioma is a tumor that grows outside the parenchyma, most of which are benign, if it can be diagnosed early, before the tumor is used before the surrounding brain tissue and important cranial nerves and blood vessels are damaged, the purpose of total resection should be achieved

It is suitable for small tumors in the midline area and skull base, with high surgical risk and low intracranial pressure.

Endovascular intervention**.

Selective cannulation is inserted into the tumor blood supply artery, and various emboli or sex hormone antagonists are injected to reduce the blood supply to the tumor, promote tumor necrosis, and inhibit tumor enlargement.

Because the specific situation of patients and tumors is diverse and very different, there are different responses, and the plan should be determined on a case-by-case basis. Hope it helps, thank you!

In this case, you should still listen to the doctor, after all, in medicine or netizens are not clear about this matter, so they still listen to the doctor, if there is no indicator of surgery, then you can observe it first, but if there is already an indicator of surgery, it is better to listen to the doctor for surgery. Seed.

This is still subject to the advice of professional doctors, and I personally believe that it is necessary to observe before performing surgery to ensure that there is no sudden occurrence of surgery.

Should you have a meningioma for surgery or observation? It should be observed for a while. The other thing is to listen to the doctor.

If it is benign, it can be operated on, if it is malignant, there is no need for surgery, and the risk is large, then take conservative drugs**, radiotherapy and chemotherapy to kill normal cells at the same time, it will also cause damage to the beneficial cells of the body, surgery is more risky, can prolong the life of the patient, conservative** If the patient's body resistance can, then it can also live with tumors, and actively cooperate with the doctor**, individuals should also have an optimistic and cheerful attitude, I believe that they will overcome the disease.

Meningioma is a common tumor, but many patients do not know much about meningioma and always hear patients asking: Is meningioma serious? Let's take a look at this problem!

Meningioma is a derivative of the meninges and meningeal space, and the incidence rate accounts for intracranial tumors, ranking second, female:male is 2:1, the peak age of incidence is 45 years old, and it is rare in children.

Places in the skull that are rich in arachnoid granules and arachnoid villi are good sites for meningioma. Parasagittal sinus, convex cerebral surface, and parafalx are more common, followed by sphenoid crest, saddle tubercles, olfactory grooves, cerebellar pontine horn and cerebellar tentorium, etc., which rarely grow in the ventricles and can also be seen in the epidural. Occasionally, other sites.

Meningioma is a benign tumor, and for meningioma**, the medical community still believes that surgical removal of the tumor is the most basic and effective method. In principle, benign tumors should be completely resected to achieve the purpose of **. Even malignant tumors should be removed from the tumor, and surgery can be supplemented with radiation or other ** to obtain life-prolonging effects.

Brain tumor surgeries include tumor resection, decompression surgery, and cerebrospinal fluid shunt. Depending on the location, nature and extent of the brain tumor and the specific condition of the patient, doctors choose different methods or a combination of several methods.

Meningiomas account for a high proportion of brain tumors, about 20-30%, and the incidence is second only to glioma. However, the vast majority of meningiomas are benign, that is, they grow slowly and have a capsule, and most of them can be surgically removed or controlled. Most of them can be removed cleanly, no more**.

For smaller meningiomas, observation or gamma knife** can be considered, which is also not a big problem. So, don't be too nervous if you find out you or a family member has meningioma.

Meningioma** can occur in arachnoid cells and in places with arachnoid or arachnoid granules in the skull, so meningiomas can appear in many parts of the skull, either on the surface of the brain or deep at the base of the skull. For this reason, the difficulty of surgery for meningioma varies greatly. Meningioma on the convex surface of the cerebral hemisphere is mainly adhesion to the brain tissue, and the operation is generally easier, but the difficulty of being located next to the sagittal sinus increases, because to properly deal with the sagittal sinus, there can be no major changes after surgery, and the venous return of the brain should not have a big impact.

Skull base meningioma is a large category, from front to back, including: olfactory groove meningioma, sphenoid spinal meningioma, sellar tubercular meningioma and saddle diaphragm meningioma, middle skull base meningioma, cavernous sinus meningioma, petrosal oblique area meningioma, posterior fossa meningioma, occipital foramen magnum area meningioma, etc. Because of its deep location and involvement in many arteries and veins, cranial nerves, and important brain tissues, the risk of meningioma at the base of the skull is significantly higher than that of meningioma with convex brain surfaces.

In addition, parafalcal meningioma of the brain, tentorial meningioma of the cerebellum, and ventricular meningioma all increase the difficulty of surgery and the risk due to their deep location. It can be said that the risk of meningioma is different depending on the location.

Although the risk of meningioma surgery is also related to other factors such as the stiffness of the tumor, the degree of blood supply to the tumor, the adhesion to the blood vessels, nerves, and brain tissues, as well as the age and constitution of the patient, the location of the meningioma is a very important factor. With the development of medicine and the advancement of neurosurgical microscopy, almost all parts of meningioma can be treated surgically, and most of them can be completely or nearly completely resected, and there is a very high success rate (close to 100%). Because the specific situation of the patient and the tumor is very different and very different, there are different countermeasures, some require surgery, some require surgery with gamma knife, some need gamma knife, and some only need observation, depending on the specific situation.

The specific ** plan is best made by an experienced doctor. The right choice of the plan is crucial, just like people at the crossroads do not choose the wrong direction.
