Thanks for the information. Here is the details I was given:
there is a homogeneously enhancing mass, corresponding with
meningioma, in
the anterior medial aspect of the right middle cranial fossa is near the orbital apex measuring approximately 1.2 × 0.8 x 1 cm (TR by AP by CC), causing mild mass effect on the anterior temporal pole.

Like at least someone else mentioned, I wouldn’t wait to have it attended to, particularly if it’s causing occasional seizures. It will only continue to grow.

I say this from personal experience. My emergency room doctor and I didn’t recognize a seizure; I never had an MRI, and I almost died when an unsuspected benign meningioma hemorrhaged. My recovery from the life-saving surgery was uneventful and 8 years later, my most recent MRI confirmed no tumor regrowth.

The lexicon used in my MRI report was like trying to read a foreign language. The only word I was able to understand was "meningioma." I see it as the role of the neuro doc to translate. Still, am glad the law has changed and patients are entitled to see our reports independent of the doctor's giving the ok to having them released to us.
