A member asked:

2 years ago i had a ct scan for some headaches i was having and they found no tumor, about a week ago i had a mri for an unrelated issue and they found a 8mm meningioma. should i be worried about its growth in that short period of time?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Meningiomas are extra cerebral slow-growing lesions that typically do not result in presentation with a large damaging mass. They may be clinically silent and non-eventful for years and are usually discovered coincidentally. At your age, a surgeon will likely suggest periodic updated films and an MRI would likely have the best views.
