Well. Today is 12/31/2016. My menginioma surgery was a success. Surgery lasted about 4 hours. The tumor was completely benigh and they were able to get all of it. I was able to leave the hospital on Tuesday after having surgery on Friday. Thank-you Dr. Munz for doing a great job. THANK YOU LORD JESUS ! ! ! I feel very blessed to have survived 2 of these .
What grade did they give your meningioma? I was told mine was grade 2 A-typical. It has been 3 weeks since surgery. I feel throbbing and pressure ontop of my head where the tumor was. I did not have a shunt placed when i came out of surgery. Should i have had one?
I had a meningioma removed at age 16. By the time it was discovered it was very big and my neurologist said it covered the right side of my brain, I wanted to know which lobes, he told me "the right side.." I was paralyzed to my neck on the left side, but quickly regained most of my movement after surgery and seizures stopped. For those newly diagnosed, I am now 54 with no recurrence, my tumour was removed 38 years ago.. Like we've heard, everyone and every tumour is different. I am checked regularly by my neurologist. Meningioma if you're going to have a brain tumour, is mostly a good one.
Just diagnosed with calcified meningioma size is 8 mm. Im 60 years old with so many health issues. Knew about meningioma by accident question is that right the tumor been there for many years?
I really appreciate this video...I am 64 and have been diagnosed w small Meningioma near pariel part of my brain..I am so scared because it is causing dizziness balance issues and some memory issues,,,I ask people please pray as I have never had any surgery in my whole life,,,I pray for all of you who have this it is the scariest thing to deal with ever,,,may god heal us all and thank you doctor big time,,,
I just had a large one removed last week.. In Houston Memorial Hermann hospital.. I'm so freaked out.. The surgeon said it was benign and he was able to remove the whole thing.
@@kariiiinaxoxo its a long recovery tbh. I still have periods where my vision gets blurry, confusion, pressure on the head and stuff. But hopeful as time passes it goes away. I will be getting radiation soon since its a grade 2 and these are more aggressive and tend to come back.
My wife has 3 tumours and 2 were 100% removed while the other is situated on the sphenoid wing, she is blind to one eye and half the tumour was debulked. She just had 6 weeks of radiation. We are hoping it will shrink or not grow anymore.
Thank you Dr. Yang for such an informative and well written video on meningiomas. Been on watch and wait for nearly a decade for 2 M's. Perfect video for me to help educate people in my life better understand my condition.
Dear Dr. Yang. Very impressing presentation and helpfull to accept the first diagnosis and the possibilities for recovery. Our son had a pineablastoma when he was 12 years old and got radiation therapy. Now he is 44 years old and coincedentally there were found meningiomas caused by the former induced radiation therapy. We know that every tumor is a special case and needs an exclusive treatment. Awesome work you do for your patients.
Im going to see my PTP only in 5 days, and im so scared. From this video I now understand that its might not that dangerous as I thought it is, very helpful and understandable, on a positive note, which is very important .. Thank you very much again :)
I discussed my meningioma with a neurologist within my HMO. Mine is behind my left eye. I would love to get a second opinion, but my insurance won't pay for one outside of my HMO. My brother had glioblastoma, and was a patient at UCLA. I understand these are very different. However, I would still appreciate a consult with a surgeon. I wasn't impressed with the neurologist I saw, to be honest. She really didn't listen, and spent the duration of the appointment steering the conversation to her satisfaction, while dismissing any possible symptoms. All that said, I am not confident, I am still concerned, and feel as though I may fall through the cracks.
Hi, I got this problem and thank you to share the information. I suppose to go through the surgery but I don't know the complete picture but I have a batter idea about it. Thanks again. Best regards Shah
I get MRI scan on head and eye orbits in a few hours. Optometrist found ‘something concerning’ and referred me to eyes hospital and from there, referred for MRI. Can’t see well with right eye. Staggering like a drunk. Amazingly dizzy. Thought I had vertigo. It’s crept in over a couple of years. Looking likely this is what’s been going on.
I have had 3 Maningiomas removed and still have 7! My neurosurgeon said they have a growth spurt after child birth. And each time he has to in to remove them it increases the chance of a stroke. My 1st one was 10cm X 3cm which I had removed. I'm doing well but they are growing each year. This was in 2014. They also said when I reach menopause I have to have special patches minus some hormone
My diagnose in October of 2018. I feel better about the surgery and what is going to happen because of this ytube. I am glad I connected and would love to have you follow up with me. The only problem, my insurance will not cover for this group to handle my case. I hear the same words from you as I would from NIH. I feel so much better knowing there are experts as great as you.
Dr. Yang I am so happy to hear this from you I’ve had many genres for a couple years now and now they are really bothering me like my eyes I’m going to go take another MRI with contrast I’m A little afraid I’m 62 years old and I was diagnosed with the energy almost 3 years ago I would love your help please
excellent explanation...i underwent a 3 cm. meningioma resection 8 june 2018...operation successfull...but with post-op. complications...intensive care impressions (beeps, peeps, lights and voices) induced an epileptic seizure (grand mal)...the following day back on the ward nursing staff wanted to stimulate my revalidation by bringing me to the shower...but it was too much for me to handle which induced a major stroke which left me right side paralyzed and afatic (couldn't speak) for 3 weeks...i didn't know if i would recover from this but after 3 weeks i found that i could move my thumb a little...but all the while hospital staff was pressuring me to revalidate as quickly as possible...i understand their protocol...but i find this approach detrimental and damaging...after 3 weeks in hospital i was transferred to a nursing home for revalidation...and there they also pressured me to revalidate as quickly as possible...but i actually progressed the most when left alone in my room...took my first baby steps after 2 months by stepping out of bed and holding on to the radiator...alone...in hindsight i now believe that rest and quiet are of utmost importance the first week(s) after brain surgery...and asking the patiënt what his/her wishes are...not to just blindly follow general protocol...the first week after the operation i hardly slept because of the noises (loud voices, bumping medicine carts) in the hall and a nurse coming every 2 hours to check pupil response with a flashlight and vitals check...professional dedicated caregivers...but a hellish experience...today, 15 july 2019, i walk with the aide of a walker (500 m. max.) and cannot carry a conversation for more than 30 minutes...i need to wear sunglasses when walking outside...but i am thankfull for every day that God grants me...and for all the wonderfull people who cared and prayed for me....
Is there long term research on the impact of radiation on atypical mengiomas.... will it reduce the likelihood of recurrence, the speed of growth. I am over 60, had a baseball sized Menigioma hacked out, I had a big titanium patch, and the new one is pushing hard on the patch... and pushing my left eye out of the socket. But I had cobalt 60 as a kid, (which I was in stockholm at the time, c. 1970) as it crushed me, and I am not all that excited about doing it again.
I’ve been having, pretty much non-stop migraine (or so I thought) headaches. And my neck has been killing me. For that I just suspected degenerative disc disease. I found out today that I have a small Meningioma. I hope they can do something because these headaches are horrific!! I’ve fought Neuroendocrine Cancer in the past, so my oncologist was concerned about that. Neuroendocrine tumors do release a LOT of hormones & peptides, so I wonder if the Carcinoid Syndrome I have could have caused this?!
Two weeks ago I have been diagnosed with a tentorial meningioma. This is located in the cerebellum and touching the tectum and brain stem, these are quite rare and due to location - the posterior fossa is very tight and there is very little leeway, radiotherapy is not an option. On tuesday I am having an 8 hour procedure called Supracerebellar infratentorial approach to tentorial meningioma... thank you for the info, clearly this is going to be my life going forward 🙏
Is it possible to have radiation therapy only not with ipen skull surgery i had my 2nd surgery and 1 che radiation therapy alreadbut my brain tumor still growing I don’t think im ready for the 3rd opan skull again its not easy exercise
First of all, greetings from holland, I,m waiting for an surgery plan is within the next two weeks. In the beginning of your explenation you say, the change is higher for women to get it than man, could it be that by man the balans of female hormones is more often higher than normall, this is im ny case, could it be that that could be the reason of the resolt that man hase it less than woman? thanks for respons
Roland I had a meningioma removed in 1995. It was benigh. It was 7.0 cm. It was located on the right frontal lobe. In May of 2016 I was having problems with my right leg. Shooting pains radiating from hip all the way to my foot. I went to see a neurologist. MRI revealed a pinched nerve in the lumbar region of my spine. A neurosurgeon did surgery, put in some rods and screws. There was very little change post op. In an effort to find out what was going on, he sent me to get further MRIs of my lumbar, thoracic, cervical and head. They revealed nothing other than my meningioma had grown back, this time it was 4.8 cm. I will have surgery on Friday 12/23/2016. I'm not sure that the outcome will be the same, I'm 63 this time around. I will leave a comment on how this turns out some time after Christmas. THANKS for the video ! !
Dear Dr. Yang , I am a 55 yr old woman that was recently diagnosed with a meningioma brain tumor It was found secondary when I was in the E.R. for my HTN and a mild headache . They also found an arachnoid cyst . I am asymptomatic for both tumor and cyst and even my HTN . I have been to see a well respected neurosurgeon in my area But your you tube video has more information than I was given at my visit to the neurosurgeon . Thank you for your detailed video .
Anyone knows someone with menginioma with headaches, numbness, hearing, and memory loss that over 70 years that had successful surgery and full recovery? How does % risk increase as age increase?
17yers back my mother had meningioma and its removed by surgery again now mass lesion noted in para sagittal location in right high parietal region 3.0×1.5×1.7(AP×CC×TR) her age now 65 plz tell me any treatment available plz tel me
Thank you Dr. Yang for your wonderful explanation, I learned a lot information. I just received from my sister who lived in London a terrible news that makes cried like a disconsolate baby 30 minutes ago, she have a 7 centimeters meningioma, she can’t feel her right arm and the headaches are terrible. The doctors over there going to make her a surgery. What are the possibilities?
Dear Dr.Yang, my wife had brain tumor surgery last month. It's atypical meningiomas grade II. After surgery, she got some complications & infections leading to the 2nd and 3rd operation due to the leak out from the brain. She also had infected as meningitis. How can we make sure no further leak and is there any other options to stop leaking? Thank you.
Thank you so much Dr. Isaac Yang for easy explanation of Meningiomas. I am 58 female; in last October MRI show a Meningioma in the left up part of the brain in the front. In December a second MRI show other 2 Meningiomas in the right up part of the brain; one close to the right eye and the other one up from the second one. Can you tell me your advice please.
Amazing my mother has Meningioma. She has been having discomfort behind her head. But will be In good condition with the help from neurosurgeons in Bellevue
I had mass benign tumor in 2008. operation removed it all. But now I have another meningioma above the first one. it's grade one. I have suffered problems down my neck and take medication Lamotrigine and Diazepam and paracetamol pain relief. l am being monitored. But why did l get another tumour but first one never recurred. CT scan Aug 2017 and follow up Neurosurgical team. What causes these tumours. ?
Dear Dc Yang, I appreciate so much this video// I accidently found 2 days ago I have Meningioma. after CT scan. I was at emergency room, and done CT, waited 30 min for result, and Doctor that were checking me out said: your CT scan is fine. I left home, But on the next morning i got a call from the Hospital, the specialist see Meningioma, im guessing its not that big if first internal Doctor haven't seen it.
Same thing happened to me How are you doing today just diagnosed 3 months ago I was at ER for high blood pressure did CT scan and Dr told me you have meningioma never heard of this before. So far we need to observe it but I'm very worried
My mom got diagnosis olfactory groove meningioma.. She is 69 and had this issue since 2011 and never told us. she was acting weird for the past 3 years. What are the survival rate in an older person of her age. Still waiting on the neurosurgeons to make a decisions and option of surgery..
In summary, if you've had extensive exposure to dental radiation(i.e. lots of dental x-rays, particularly as a kid) you will be a good candidate to develop this! This is been known for a long time. Acoustic neuromas(also non-hereditary) are caused by dental x-rays as well. It's a no-brainer. No other likely cause!
I just found out calcified 1cm meningioma. Neurologist said to forget about it. Is it normal? I'm very worried. Is calcified really consoidered as dead tumor?
I have calcified meningioma size is 8 mm. Where do you live I live in Australia and neurologist told me I need to see him every 3 months for a year do MRI pls keep in touch with me we are in the same boat
Dear Dr Yang, First of all, your video is incredible, very clear, congratulations. Can you be so kind and send me your e mail in order to send you some questions about a meningiona of my mother? Regards from Chile.

I just found out calcified 1cm meningioma. Neurologist said to forget about it. Is it normal? I'm very worried. Is calcified really consoidered as dead tumor?
I have calcified meningioma size is 8 mm. Where do you live I live in Australia and neurologist told me I need to see him every 3 months for a year do MRI pls keep in touch with me we are in the same boat

Pretending there aren't horrible side effects from cobalt doesn't help patients trust their neurosurgeon. Often it damages the brain.
I have 8 minigeomas and im having 2 which are causing edema, i am having them removed in 4 days.
