i have had a meningoma for five to six years. My neuroopthamologist has followed it up to now. i had another mri a few days ago in a specialized university eye hospital. My neuropthamologist read the images immediately and referred me to a neuro-surgeon. i have repeatedly informed most meningomas are small and grow slowly'. it seems like im now in the atypical group' im glad my neuropthamologist was able to arrange an appt this month with a top neuro-surgeon. i am anticipating the next step will be a biopsy but i dont know

Thanks for your kind support. The radiologist report disagreed with the neuro-opthamologists interpretation of the 5/7/24 brain and orbit MRI images. Moreover, the radiologist didn’t sign the report and i am wondering if he/she is quite inexperienced…perhaps a resident? i refuse to worry about the radiologist report which says things like septic arthritis cant be ruled out and that the meningoma has not changed in size since my last MRI (about a yr ago). I made an internist appt for tomorrow to hopefully rule out the potential of “septic arthritis”. Also, my neuropthamologist is extraordinarily intelligent, resourceful and concerned about his patients (and i have been his patient for over a decade). He seems to be reaching out to his colleagues arranging highly specialized consultations and seemingly very specific, unusual and non-invasive testing. i am very fortunate to live nearby the no one rated university ophthalmology institute.
