My experience after craniotomy to remove a meningioma

Hello, The neurosurgeon will be aware of the proximity to the sagittal sinus and will be extra careful. I had a meningioma that contacted the superior sagittal sinus, fortunately not growing into it. The neurosurgeon’s report specifically stated that he was not as aggressive as he could have been when removing the bits of tumor stuck to the sinus. Good luck with the surgery, you’ll do fine.

@kdog1957 thank you for your reply. I have added "is this the meningioma around the sagital sinus (in contact with) OR growing into it" to my questions for the pre-op appt. I did not know about the proximity to the sagital sinus until I went for a second opinion. The doc doing the surgery said I may need radiation to follow up with whatever she can't remove surgically. Sounds like you are doing fine - happy for you!
