Parafalx meningioma symptoms?

summary

Meningioma is a very serious disease. In recent years, the incidence of meningioma has become higher and higher, which has caused great damage to the health of patients, and even deprives patients of their lives. Therefore, meningioma must be prevented as soon as possible. To prevent the emergence of meningioma, we should first understand the causes of meningioma, which can help us to treat in time. Today, let me learn about the symptoms of meningioma beside the falx?.

Parafalx meningioma symptoms?

First: most of the meningiomas near the falx cerebri are buried in the longitudinal fissure of the cerebral hemisphere, and their location is deep. When the tumor is small, it usually does not cause obvious clinical symptoms, so the tumor often grows larger. Because of the mild involvement of the central cortex, the symptoms of localized brain damage are less common than those of sagittal sinus meningiomas. Once dyskinesia occurs, it starts from the foot, gradually affects the whole lower limb, then the upper limb muscle strength disorder, and finally affects the head and face. If the tumor grows to both sides of the falx cerebri, the patient may have bilateral weakness and dysuria.

Second: another important clinical symptom of the tumor in this area is epileptic seizure, which usually begins with contralateral limb or facial localized seizure, and gradually forms generalized seizure. In addition, the tumors in the front of falx cerebri can also cause mental symptoms, while the incidence of epilepsy in the rear of falx cerebri is low. About 2 / 3 of the patients had increased intracranial pressure. Meningiomas in the posterior third of the falx cerebri are especially common. Meningiomas in this part only cause visual field changes and often do not attract the attention of patients. Tumors often grow to a huge volume before they are detected.

Third: a few meningiomas near the cerebral falx can develop bilaterally, and those in the central cortex can cause spastic paralysis and dysuria of both lower limbs. Giant parafalciform meningiomas in the posterior region can compress the bilateral occipital talar fissure and cause blindness.

matters needing attention

Surgical resection is the main method. Patients who can not tolerate surgery can consider stereotactic radiotherapy, such as gamma knife, X-knife, etc.
