Overview

Symptoms of meningioma include visual defects, speech difficulty, paralysis and headache.

History

  • When evaluating a patient for multiple myeloma, you should take a detailed history of the presenting symptom (duration, onset, progression), other associated symptoms, and a thorough medication review. Other specific areas of focus when obtaining the history are outlined below:[1]
    • Review past medical history for other plasma cell diseases
    • Review family history for members with positive history of the disease
    • Review occupational history related to farming or oil industry
    • Review any exposure to radiation or toxic chemicals

  • Urinary incontinence
  • Mild personality changes
  • Mild memory loss
  • Visual defects
