Thanks for providing valuable information regarding meningioma as I am having meningioma which pressing the nerve towards the eye.
Well explained 👍👍
Very nice...🙂
Thanks for sharing
I am really grateful I came across your video! I was recently diagnosed with a Chronic Calcified Meningioma 2 months ago. The only reason I found out was I passed out and fell into a glass door."🤦I have had 2 CT scans , MRI and and a EEG and your video has explained to me information I did not understand at first." Thank you so much! And now I know why it is important to go to the doctors, I could've caught it a year ago.👍
How are you now, you had surgery?
Am naturopathy dr and big fan yours
I was recently diagnosed with a meningioma have done massive research, and I have to say that this is the most complete overview I’ve found yet. Explains it in detail so that you understand it. Thank you very much for putting it out there. It’s helped me make decisions.
Symptoms kya tha please aapko bata do na yrr meri mummy ko yahi report me aaya h aur hum kaffi pareshan h

What is calcified meningiomaoverlying
Sir, my mother has brain tumor and it is near optical nerve. Doctors are suggesting gamma knife but we are scared about the side effects of gamma knife. Can you please reply and brief about it?
Regards
Sir. I got my repeat mri done after 1 year. The tumor is same as it was last year. One dr told me to wait and watch. Another advised me SRS radiation. Iam confused. Do meningiomas always grow. Mine is in duralbased right frontal region.
I found your video to be informative and interesting.
My doctor first diagnosed me with falx Meningioma positioned at the occipital lobe measuring 1.9 x1.8x 0.9 cm in year 2012. He recommended watchful waiting, reviewing my situation yearly. For certain reasons, I only went back to the doctor in 2022 and the MRI of the brain showed that the brain tumour has fortunately not grown. The neurosurgeon once again advised continued observation and come back in a year. I do not exhibit any symptoms like headaches, fits or loss of balance although i do have vision wobbles occasionally.
Your expert advice and comment here will be deeply appreciated. Thank you in advance.
help me a have brain tumor
How are you now.had operation or not?
I started having seizures very suddenly in my early forties. I had also been getting crippling headaches for years and started having nausea every morning but could vomit at at any time without having the nausea warning signs.
I had been having tonic clonic seizures for two years that was misdiagnosed as panic attacks which I'd never had. After two years of my two young children (6 and 4) had been finding me on the floor fitting, I was finally diagnosed with epilepsy. They told me that because I was presenting with these terrible headaches and nausea that it would be best to have an MRI to rule out a brain tumour, as the three symptoms I was getting were typical signs.
They gave me the MRI as told me it was clear of any signs of a tumour and I was put on meds to treat my other symptoms.
About 2 years late I was rushed into hospital in agony with what turned out to be a large gallstone blocking my main bile duct and also I'd been complaining of bad pain in my right side, nothing was done about it until I called 999 for an ambulance as I was in so much pain I couldn't walk.
I was admitted to a different hospital than the one that had done my MRI and given me the all clear so while they were doing lots of investigations into the source of my pain and they were in the middle of doing a lumbar puncture, the doctor said very casually, "oh you do know you've got a brain tumour don't you".
I was staggered to hear this news but by the way it was given to me. After about they found the gallstone and sent me home on prescription Morphine until I could get keyhole surgery. I'd only been in this hospital for no more than a week and when I arrived home there was a letter on my doormat from the hospital that had done the first MRI looking to rule out a brain tumour explaining that although they had said it was clear "there were in fact, clear signs of the tumour".
As if that wasn't bad enough, they assigned me a neurosurgeon who told me zero information about my meningioma other than the fact that that's what it was. He flat out refused to perform a biopsy, telling me it was far to dangerous to perform, and when I asked how big it was he told me "oh you dony need to know that. It's tiny!"
I was looking at the screen with that first MRI they'd said was clear and I could see it was about the size of a grape. When I asked if the the MRI was to scale he pretended not to understand my question and so I still know very little about it because when I asked for a second opinion they sent the very same neurosurgeon to a different hospital and expected me to accept this. I refused to see him as it wasn't going to be a second opinion.
The most information I got was from my epileptologist who told me the reason my seizures would start in my left hand and then quickly speard upwards to my entire brain was because the tumour was on the right side of my brain, that my epilepsy was called " secondary generalised" and that the tumour had caused lesions on my brain.
The four years that it took to reach this point where four years out of my ten year old sons life who didn't understand what was happening to his mum but has grown afraid of me and so he left to live with his father and refused to see me again.
Now I a neurosurgeon who is trying to play down the tumour as "calcification" and telling me that my seizures, headaches and nausea have nothing to do with the calcification.
Strange how they told me that those symptoms were pretty common and classic signs of a brain tumour that was the reason they gave me the MRI in the first place.
The Neurosurgeon has stopped any further growth check MRI scans and I have a new epeleptologist who's trying to change my seizure diagnosis, writing in my notes that I never have any evidence of incontinence of urine or a bitten tongue/lip etc, when I've told him the complete opposite. I've had seizures where I come around and have lost two teeth, or they've been put on the hospital table next to my bed.
My mother witnessed one of my serial seizures along with the emergency paramedics who came to my house to stop me seizing and get me into hospital and I can't understand why this new epileptologist is lying...?!
I'm sitting looking at a consultants letter from the hospital that found my tumour incidentally, saying "to whom it may concern, this lady has had two wittnessed serial seizures in this hospital".
The, letter had been lost for a few years but I've just found it tonight. Anyone else who has full tonic clonic (grand mal) seizures will tell you that they have a terrible effect on your memory and can cause confusion and memory problems problems for weeks or even months if you've had a cluster of them or they were serial seizures. Your brains are literally scrambled.
I'm due another neurology appointment next month and my mother who was to ill to attend my last appointment as my "witness", died last year so I'll be on my own so I'm so relieved I've found that letter!
I was told by a uk meningioma charity that a benign tumour can still have a 14% of turning malignant so I'm trying to get my growth MRI scans back. The neurosurgeon had reduced them to 1 every 3 years but took great pleasure in telling me he wasn't going to do anymore with an awful smirk on his face.
I've read and heard that some psychopaths make great surgeon. Particularly brain surgeons, and I'm positive he's one of those men. The last words he said to me before I'd had a chance to react to his choice to stop any further MRI's was "and you can complain if you want but it won't make any difference". I just walked out of his office in shock.
I'm sorry this post is so long but I've never told my story about the poor NHS treatment I got and am still getting. If you're still reading then thank you for making it all the way through to the end! I think I just needed to get what I considered to be what has been quite traumatic to me out of my sytem by writing most of it down.
@@Paddy955 is your tumour can be cured by cyberknife radio surgery? Without cutting your hard I mean..
Sir my father have a meningioma of 3 cm and his sugar level is 490 right now ,I wanted to take her to another state for surgery,can he travel in this condition or not??
Sir my mother has meningioma. She is 60 yr old. Two times she has been unconscious. I have MRI. Kindly suggest me treatment sir 🙏
I had baseball size meningioma in left frontal lobes. It was surgical removed totally. But i feel my frontal lobe functions are impaired. Is this possible?
Thanks and bless you doctor 🙏🏾 I had 3 TBIs causing headache and ear ringing in 3yrs and am concerned bc of that. Can it be the cause? From Toronto with love
Do you mean to ask if Traumatic Brain Injury can be the cause of Meningioma. Very unlikely
@@TheBrainDoc_talks I'm feeling stress/weight in my right of brain (forehead side).. and right eye is blurry.. is it causes of meningioma?
And I don't have any other causes like seizers, vomitting, bleeding in nose, weakeness in hands, pins in hands, appetite problem, etc..
Sir, you are very grateful information share with all . Thank you for your social attitude to spend your valuable time with us.
Sir, my wife is suffering from intra ventricular maningioma. Its found 5 years back when she had 7th month pregnency. Then intra ventricular maningioma size is 4.5×3.8×5.0 cm.
Later vide MRI, 2021 july maningeoma size is 3.5×3.3×4.6.
It is further submitted that in April, 2023 MRI with contrast was done. The recent report details are as follows:

Mild mass effect noted over the mid brain on left side.
*"On post contrast study*:
Intense homogeneous enhancement noted on contrast administration.
No evidence of haemorrhage.
No exudates
No evidence of midline shift.
No evidence of extra axial collections.
IMPRESSION: "Large well defined Homogeneously enhancing altered signal intense lesion in trigone of left lateral ventricle with mild perilesional edema& mass effect as described
*Likely Intraventricular Meningioma*
Sir, she is suffering from sezire(fits) atleast 1 time in a month.
Sir, is it can remove by gama knife surgery as said you.
Sir, I hope you will send reply me.
Sir if you possible please send me your whatsap number to send MRI reports for your valuable advise.
Thank you Sir.
This requires operation. Gamma knife is not an option now. Get her operated , it can cause problems because of hydrocephalus also. Don't delay
My mother was recently diagnosed with a small calcified faicine meningioma. What should we do?
My name is Rayson Musumina am an African reside in Zambia, am not lwilly sure if this is a brain tumour am experiencing but I do have all the symptoms, am not sure because something on my head is growing that it shows out of the skull on top of the medulla.pls help?
My mom has 22 mm meningioma..cpa ..could you please confirm any best neurosurgeon in delhi and also which treatment is best to cure this
En plaque meningioma is danger and which grade sir
Can you pls explain the difference between gama knief and cyber knief radiation treatment in another video? And what are the side effects of both.. it will be very much helpful.. as i also dignosed with benign meningeoma..
U had ur surgery done boz my mom had went through meningioma tumor surgery
@@supriyakharat5122 not yet, drs suggested to wait for some time, as I have no or very nominal symptoms , so if it is not increasing, then why to remove it. Provided it must not cause any symptoms and discomfort. So I'll repeat MRI after few months, and then decide.
Hi,
My mom was diagnosed with medial swing Meningioma. We opted for surgery as well but could not remove it completely. The size of residual is 1.8cm and it has not increased in last one year. It is as it is. So I hope there is nothing to worry now. What do you think? And it was grade - 1 only.
You can just observe with interval MRI or even give Gamma knife to decrease the chances of growth
My daughter was having Meningioma Tumor ,this November 07,2023 schedule for her surgery at SPMC Hospital in Davao, Philippines... I need to know what happen after surgery if her eyes can see again or not 🙏🤔🤦😥
My mother's age is 84. She had symptoms like vertigo, imbalance, difficulty while talking, taking liquid food (no hunger). 2 times brain MRI, spectroscopy, once spine MRI, VEP test has been done. Consulted 2 neurologist and 1 neurosurgen, their opinion to do biopsy to trace out tumor or cancerous tumor. They explained that biopsy is one type of surgery. They clarified that there is a risk in treatment due to her old age. Our family decided not to go for surgery. Is there any alternate treatment for it? Please guide us.
Try to the homeopathy
My father was diagnosed with meningioma in 2018 and his doctor suggested surgery which he did. I think the meningioma removed was on the center. He was 81 at that time and very able to walk but having problem with his balance. After the surgery, he couldn’t walk anymore and wheelchair bound up to now 2023. He did some therapy but to no luck still can’t walk. What do you think happened in the surgery why it affected his mobility? Any suggestion how he can get back his mobility?
Now just recently an MRI was done on him and found another meningioma developed on the right side of his brain and doctor suggested a radiation this time. He’s now 86. We’re afraid how this going to affect him again. Is this still advisable for his age? What are the risk if he did not get any treatment for this new developed meningioma? What other options besides radiation and surgery? Thank you. Hoping you can give me advice on this.
My mother has also meningioma plz suggest me hospital
I have tightness on top of head and pain
Sir, "Meningioma in Spine" please make a video on this..
Sure. Thanks for the suggestion

Hello sir, it has been 1 year and 4 months, and I had 100% removal of meningioma "grade 1" via craniotomy, 3.2 cm in size at the back of right hemisphere, My doctor told me the seizures will vanish away completely after meningioma resection, and the anticonvulsant/antiepileptic medications have been reduced to almost 75% as well. And Indeed I never had any seizures after the surgery. But, one thing that concerns me is my left side is slightly weaker, especially since my left foot is numbed all along. I have been doing physiotherapy all along.
My only question is - will this muscle weakness on the left side of my body ever go away? Age - 29, Medical history - Never experienced any seizures before until a few weeks before my surgery. . Thanks!
If you are having weakness after 1 year of surgery as well, then it's unlikely to go away...however continue to do exercises ...it can still become better with exercise (physiotherapy)
Can meningioma treated through medicine
Bro hoe much your procedure cost n where did you get your surgery done?
@@prataproy3925 Pakistan, around 8 lac. It would be 3.5 lac in India.
My father had a meningioma, grade 2 with focal rhabdoid morphology MIBI labelling index-35-40% right parieto temporal region tumor, which was operated on in August. After 2-3 months later radiation therapy start. After the operation, everything was normal, but since the radiation started, then seizures started coming, which did not come at all before and after the operation. After starting the radiation, the condition is getting worse than normal. currently 16 radiation complete and 17 remaining
Yes seizures (fits) are possible with meningioma either before or after the operation ..also after radiation as radiation can cause edema (swelling). However gamma knife therapy (if available nearby) would be a better option, anyway since you have started with this pls do continue and complete the course
So sorry to hear this,mine is nothing compared to your Father. Prayers and love ❤️🌹
hope your father is doing well now.
Bro , how much procedure cost? Is there any after surgery complication before radiation?
@@TheBrainDoc_talksI’ve had sharp quick lighting type pains shoot through my head since mine . Also,.. I have pain in both of my calves (which was part of symptoms around same time the tumor was found,.. along with pain at back of both legs that did go away after the tumor was removed). I don’t understand this. I’ve gone through other medical tests to try and find another possible cause for the pain in calves, but nothing was found. So, could the pain in calves and shooting pain in head be due to the tumor that was there and the surgery done too? I have had improvement of headaches, nausea and vomiting,.. plus improvement in weakness of muscles on right side of body. Could you possibly explain? Thank you. Enjoy your education.❤️

My meningioma was detected incidentally 5 months back. Size is 2 x 1cm in the right frontal region. Mu nuerologist has put me on anti epileptic...and told me to get MRI repeat after evert 2 years. Dr said its v small and no intervention is required at this point
It's a small tumor, you can either follow it up with serial MRI or as well give Gamma knife to decrease the chances of its growth
And serial MRI should be done at what intervals? And as my meningioma is in the right frontal region what can it cause?
Sir you said to follow my meningioma with serial mri or get gamma knife as its small 1x2 cm. I want to know the risk and side effects of gamma knife as i read that it can cause brain swelling after 6 months. Also for aerial mri at. What intervals shiuld i get it done. Regards
Hi, did u get gamma knife surgery? My mother has the same issue and we are doubtful if we should go for the procedure or not?
@@divssharma5219 no I decided to wait . Will get it repeat mri next year

Hi , my mother has the same issue and gamma knife is suggested. Should we go for it?
Please reply
What is tumour? How can I prevent it to reoccurrence of meningioma tumour?
In case if you are already operated for meningioma, if there is a residual tumor it can be subjected to gamma knife therapy which will decrease the chances of its recurrence

Iodine supplementation helps kill tumor cell so does it help to prevent tumor growth in the brain?
I’m about to investigate this because I can’t seem to find any information or research with these two terms together. iodine deficiency and meningioma.

Hello sir,
My father is having brain tumor at right frontal convexity in brain( i.e benign one which is non cancerous) of size 2.6 cm.
We got this information after a random MRI by father himself . Before knowing about this tumor my father got a TIA attack.
So could u please help me to what to do ?
My father is very tensioned about this tumor. Because after having medicines he got some symptoms of headache and dizziness.
Can u tell me about the gamma knife that is if it is safe and also hoe much safe in india for having gamma knife operation .
Could u please suggest some location in india for gamma knife operation?
Please help sir.
Gamma knife is a safe option and definitely recommended for less than 3 cm size of tumor. It's available at AIIMS Delhi, PGI Chandigarh, Hinduja hospital Mumbai and NIMHANS Bangalore . There maybe other centres too but I know of only these
