Overview

Patients with meningioma may have a history of past radiation exposure, genetic disorders like neurofibromatosis type II, and obesity. The hallmark symptom of meningioma is morning headache. Other common symptoms of meningioma include vomiting, focal neurological deficits, hearing loss/tinnitus, visual impairment, and behavioral changes. However, the specific clinical presentation of meningioma is determined by the exact anatomical location of the tumor. For example, patients with meningiomas located in the olfactory grove may present with memory and visual disturbances, loss of intellectual functions, and unilateral or bilateral inability to smell.

History

Patients with meningioma may have a positive history of:

  • Past radiation exposure
  • Neurofibromatosis type II
  • Obesity
  • Headaches
  • Seizures
  • Nausea/vomiting
  • Neurological deficits
  • Personality changes
  • Hearing loss/tinnitus

Symptoms

Common Symptoms

Common symptoms of meningioma include:[1][2][3][4]

  • However, the specific clinical presentation of meningioma is determined by the exact anatomical location of the tumor:
  • Symptoms observed in olfactory groove meningioma include:[5]
  • Headache
  • Memory disturbance
  • Visual disturbances
  • Loss of intellectual functions
  • Inability to smell (unilateral or bilateral)
  • Symptoms observed in posterior fossa meningioma include:[6]
  • Symptoms observed in parafalcine meningioma include:[7]
  • Neurologic deficits
  • Visual dysfunction
  • Ataxia
