Incidental find 7mmx6mm partly calcified meningioma
Good morning, my first post here. Currently have a meningioma on my left temporal lobe/ sphenoid wing. It was an incidental find while having my pituitary gland scanned due to adrenal insufficiency. I have eye pain, headaches and the left side of my face has dropped slightly. Also suffering from memory loss and depression, could it be this tumour?? I was referred to a neurologist and I received a letter saying he doesn’t deal with meningiomas and would need to see a neurosurgeon. He said anyway, it’s partly calcified so shouldn’t be causing any headaches, well it is!! Should I see someone about this??
Thank you in advance 😊

welcome to the group and i also had a fall, actually numerous ones and all pretty much up north and in Montana. its funny that once i moved to Virginia to be with my daughter that i ended up taking a couple of falls then my last fall was in the means of driving and wrecking my pickup, grandson with me. he was ok , i was hospitalized. there they found a brain tumor , just under a glioblastoma and cancerous along with lung cancer. now that was in 2024 today cancer free still and healing day by day, this is an amazing group of people you have come to in these groups . if i can answer any questions feel free to email me, Have a blessed evening .

not a doctor but i would defiantly get a second opinion just for my own peace of mind.
have a blessed evening.

@catmurr2747: How long do you have to wait to see the neurosurgeon? You will learn so much information at that consultation. If you can, try and have someone go with you as all the info. can be overwhelming and it's good to have a second set of ears. And many who post on this forum stress the importance of getting a second opinion, especially if the neurosurgeon is impatient about your questions and concerns, or recommends a particular protocol and you were kind of leaning the other direction.
@mkoch all in all I am fortunate in that I don’t have to wait too long. From the time I fell to the time of the appointment is about two months. During that time I got the MRI and then the meeting with the neurosurgeon was confirmed after that. Thanks for the tips. I am bringing someone with me. And I’m also writing out a list of questions to bring and ask.
