7. Meningioma Treatment
Sometimes, your doctor may suggest some observation for the meningioma, even if it is relatively small or not even causing any issue for you. You will have to go for regular MRIs to get it checked. If surgery is needed, which is not likely to happen, it will be done through a craniotomy or another procedure. The doctor may look over what the surgery might involve, and what you should expect after the surgery.
However, afterward your treatment, your doctor may suggest you coming for regular MRIs but it depends on which type of condition you had.
In many cases, the MRIs won’t be needed afterward treatment. Nearly after 10 years, almost 90℅ of patients have reported that they haven’t seen a reoccurrence of the tumor. This was the case where their tumor was removed totally by neurosurgeons. However, if your tumor is not removed completely, you’d have to come for regular MRIs.
