Meningioma: Anyone else? I'm frightened

roz0606: This happened to me as well. I had a CT sinus scan in 2017; The report came back "no sinus infection."
But I kept have what I perceived as sinus issues as well as my left eyelid seeming to droop more than my right.
Slight "ghosting" of letters when I did close up reading. Saw an E.N.T. and eye doctor at least 3 or 4 times during a five year period always complaining of the same symptoms. Finally, a neurologist looked back at the 2017 CT sinus scan and found a 2.7 centimeter meningioma that was never cited by the radiologist. So, after reading your post, I guess it happens and hopefully is not that commonplace. The meningioma was removed in 2023 and it was in my sinus cavity and I was experiencing some of the same symptoms that you cited. A second opinon is always good.

Hi @mkoch, what was the size of your meningioma when it was removed in 2023? How much did it grow from 2017, 2.7 cm? Regards.

I'm so happy to hear they figured it all out for you. How had your recovery been? Did your vision /droop get better?

I am actually waiting on an appt for a 2nd opinion and my initial team seems to be more on top of the situation (up coming appts) with the 2nd finding.
