Overview
The hallmark symptom of meningioma is morning headache. Other common symptoms of meningioma include weakness, facial drooping, and confusion. However, the specific clinical presentation of meningioma is determined by the exact anatomical location of the tumor.[1][2][3]
History
- When evaluating a patient for meningioma, you should take a detailed history of the presenting symptom (duration, onset, progression), other associated symptoms, and a thorough past medical history review. Other specific areas of focus when obtaining the history are:[4][5]
- Review of any excessive cell phone use
- Review of any exposure to head radiation therapy or dental X-ray
- Review of any significant head trauma history in the past
