Overview
The hallmark symptom of meningioma is morning headache. Other common symptoms of meningioma include weakness, facial drooping, and confusion. However, the specific clinical presentation of meningioma is determined by the exact anatomical location of the tumor.[1][2][3]
History
- When evaluating a patient for meningioma, you should take a detailed history of the presenting symptom (duration, onset, progression), other associated symptoms, and a thorough past medical history review. Other specific areas of focus when obtaining the history are:[4][5]
- Review of any excessive cell phone use
- Review of any exposure to head radiation therapy or dental X-ray
- Review of any significant head trauma history in the past
Symptoms
- However, the specific clinical presentation of meningioma is determined by the exact anatomical location of the tumor:[1][2][3]
- Symptoms observed in olfactory groove meningioma include:
- Urinary incontinence
- Mild personality changes
- Mild memory loss
- Decreased visual acuity
- Decreased concentration span
- Inability to smell
- Symptoms observed in cerebral convexity meningioma include:
- Decreased visual acuity
- Speech difficulties
- Symptoms observed in posterior fossa meningioma include:
- Swallowing diffuclties
- Voice abnormalities
- Imbalance
- Loss of coordination
- Symptoms observed in parafalcine meningioma include:
- Significant personality changes
- Tremor
- Imbalance
- Significant memory loss
- Symptoms observed in cerebellopontine angle meningioma include:
- Facial drooping
- Dizziness
- Loss of coordination
- Imbalance
- Voice abnormalities
- Hearing loss
- Difficulty swallowing
- Symptoms observed in parasagittal frontoparietal meningioma include:
- Urinary incontinence
- Spastic hemiparesis
- Symptoms observed in sphenoid ridge meningioma include:
- Memory loss
- Decreased visual acuity
- Exophthalmos
- Strabismus
- Personality changes
