A member asked:
How long would a teen diagnosed with meningioma live? what types of treatments would be recommended? what side effects would those treatments cause?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It is usually benign: After its removal, most people with meningioma live a long normal life. On rare occasions, it can recur and require repeat surgery. It takes many years before it causes any serious problems, if ever.
