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

+Symptoms of meningioma include visual defects, speech difficulty, paralysis and headache.
-Changes in vision, such as seeing double or blurriness
-Headache
-Hearing loss
-Memory loss
-Seizures
-A small meningioma causes no significant signs.
-With the development of the lump, frequent symptoms include changes in vision, for example seeing double or blurriness, headache, hearing loss memory loss, meningioma doesn't always require immediate treatment.

+==Common Symptoms==
-Small tumors (e.g., < 2.0 cm) are usually incidental findings at [[autopsy]] without having caused [[symptom]]s. Larger tumors can cause symptoms depending on the size and location.
-*''[[Focal seizures]]'' may be caused by meningiomas that overlie the cerebrum
-*''Progressive spastic weakness in legs'' and ''incontinence'' may be caused by tumors that overlie the parasagittal frontoparietal region.
-*''Sylvian tumors'' may cause a myriad of motor, sensory, aphasic, and seizure symptoms depending on the location.
-*''[[intracranial pressure#Increased ICP|Increased intracranial pressure]]'' eventually occurs, but is less frequent than in [[glioma]]s.
