Hi doctor, My grandmother is affected with meningioma tumor. Please advise what has to be done.
Hello. I have gone through your attachment (attachment removed to protect patient identity). The meningioma is a benign tumor, which grows slowly. But, the meningioma present in your grandmother is in the advanced stage, causing compression of the adjacent brain structures. For this reason, I would recommend surgery as soon as possible in order to prevent her from death or cardiac arrest. You should discuss with a neurosurgeon about this problem.
