Just left neurosurgeons office my husband has a menigioma on frontal lobe of brain they stated nothing to be concerned about.Husbands sypmtons are showing signs of alzheimers  the neurosurgeon  said he has a strong family history with father and great grand father having this disease.My question is where do we start to see if this is what is causing his issues with memory?
Hi, Thank you for posting your query. I agree with your neurosurgeon that meningioma is not the cause for memory problems. The usual symptoms of meningioma would be headache, seizures and weakness of arms or legs. Regarding memory problem, you should take him to a neurologist. He would require a detailed neuropsychological assessment, to determine the extent of memory and other cognitive dysfunction. Blood tests for vitamin B 12 and thyroid functions would also be required. Depending on the cause of memory problems, treatment can be started. I hope it helps. Please get back if you have any more queries. Best wishes, Chat Doctor.
