Overview
Clinical manifestations
Small tumors (e.g., < 2.0 cm) are usually incidental findings at autopsy without having caused symptoms. Larger tumors can cause symptoms depending on the size and location.
- Focal seizures may be caused by meningiomas that overlie the cerebrum
- Progressive spastic weakness in legs and incontinence may be caused by tumors that overlie the parasagittal frontoparietal region.
- Sylvian tumors may cause a myriad of motor, sensory, aphasic, and seizure symptoms depending on the location.
- Increased intracranial pressure eventually occurs, but is less frequent than in gliomas.
