A member asked:
I have been diagnosed with a middle cranial fossa meningomia and chiari malformation my mri also shows empty sella morphology. should i be concerned?

Not life threatening: Your doctors will likely monitor the meningioma as long as you are not having any severe headaches or other symptoms from it. They are usually not malignant. The Chiari can also cause headaches and other symptoms like vertigo, or numbness- surgery for that may be optional. Empty sella is common- be sure to have your thyroid function checked. Bottom line is none of this is life- threatening
