4. Meningiomas Growth and Size
It doesn’t mean if meningiomas are born through meninges, so they wouldn’t grow inside your skull. This is not something to worry about, as most of the meningiomas are benign and not that serious.
However, meningiomas can grow and cause swelling, which will press against the skull or the brain. It may cause brain tumor symptoms, but not brain tumors in general. So, there’s nothing to worry about here. Meningiomas typically cause vision problems, seizures, and headaches, as you may already know. But even a severe headache, on its own, can be a symptom of a brain tumor or meningioma.
Meningiomas, that are larger than the normal ones, can end up blocking the flow of cerebrospinal fluid. The blockage results in hydrocephalus (which is water on the brain) that can have an impact on your memory. The tumor on other locations of your brain can affect vision and sense of smell.
