A meningioma is a tumor that grows from the meninges — the membranes that surround the brain and spinal cord. Most meningiomas are benign (not cancerous), but they can still cause serious problems by pressing on the brain, spinal cord, or surrounding nerves. Meningiomas occur more frequently in women and are often found in older adults. They may not cause any symptoms and are discovered incidentally during imaging tests for unrelated reasons
The exact cause of meningioma is not clear, but factors may include: Symptoms depend on the location and size of the tumor. Common symptoms include: Surgical removal is often the first line of treatment, especially if the tumor is causing symptoms. The goal is to remove as much of the tumor as safely possible
