Question 1

alternative medicines like homeopathy for meningioma?

Accepted Answer

Meningioma: Meningioma is usually a slow-growing, benign tumor of the protective coverings of the brain/spinal cord.  They can be found incidentally on MRI scans -- and unless pressing on other structures, they're usually observed rather than operated upon.  I do know of cases where homeopathy has seemed to resolve such tumors. It requires astute, complete casetaking by a skilled professional homeopath.

Question 2

what are some of the non-drug treatments for meningioma?

Accepted Answer

The non drug treatments for Meningioma include::   Watchful waiting, Surgery.

Question 3

what are the medicines available to treat headaches caused by meningiomas?

Accepted Answer

They don't usually : Meningiomas are benign (not cancerous) slow growing tumors within the skull.  They sometimes can get large enough to push aside normal structures. In those cases they are sometimes removed or treated with radiation. It's unlikely that the meningioma is the cause of the headache, however.  You should see a doctor about the headaches.

Question 4

my sister-in-law is suffering from meningioma, and has a vision problem. is surgery the last option or can be cured by medicine?

Accepted Answer

No medicine: the treatment is either localised radiation /surgery or just observation

Question 5

does gincosin drug cause meningioma?or is it safe?and what dosage do you recommend per day for improving my concentration and mental performance?

Accepted Answer

2 cases out of 20 K: Ginkgo preparations can cause seizures. Avoid the seeds and fruit (toxic) Ginseng the second component of Gincosan has been used as a medicine for over 5000 years. At age 19 it is not likely that you have a cerebral blood flow problem (in the absence of SLE or other uncommon conditions). You might consider undergoing a formal assessment done by a highly trained specialist (Behavioral Neurologist)

Question 6

i have a follow up question is anti tb drugs safe to take if i have liver meningioma. my alt and ast result were both normal?

Accepted Answer

Yes: You have a liver hemangioma, not a liver meningioma. It is no danger to you unless someone tries to biopsy it. They are common (1% of folks) and the malignant potential is far less than the danger of messing with the little lesion. Best wishes.

Question 7

what is meningioma?

Accepted Answer

Tumor in the head: Most meningiomas arise in structures that surround the brain or spinal cord. Most are benign and if a person has an intracranial mass, learning that it's a meningioma is good news for surgeon and patient.

Question 8

can you die from meningioma?

Accepted Answer

Yes: All abnormal growths in the brain are serious.  A meningioma is brain tumor that can vary from very mild to very severe.  Some are very slow growing and depending on the patient's age and risks for surgery "might" not be removed.  Most are removed, simply because the earlier one can be removed the less the chance it could grow so big as to kill someone.  That is too simplistic an answer.

Question 9

what are the grades of meningioma?

Accepted Answer

2: The majority of meningiomas are classified at grade 1 or benign by the world health organization criteria.  If there are features of more aggressive nature on the pathology slides it can be classified as a grd 2 or atypical.  The carry a higher incidence of recurrence.

Question 10

what are the symptoms of meningioma?

Accepted Answer

Most have none: Most people have no symptoms at all.
There are typical symptoms of brain tumors depending on the location of the tumor when the symptoms occur.
These can include headache, nausea, visual changes and many more- again depending on the size and location of the tumor.
