Tentorial Meningioma Brain Tumor

Tentorial meningiomas represent about 5% of intracranial meningiomas. Tentorial meningiomas are rare tumors located along the surface of the tentorium cerebella in the brain. These types of posterior fossa meningiomas can cause headaches, seizures, and difficulty walking. (Reference http://www.mountsinai.org/care/neurosurgery/services/meningiomas/types)
Anteromedial refers to the location, namely in front and toward the middle.
Mrser, has your diagnosis been established as a tentorial meningioma?

Mrser52, just to be clear, I am not a medical professional. Only your doctor, who has all the details of your diagnostic tests and medical history, can tell you about your tumor, the treatment options, including benefits and risks.
I can, however, share some general information about tentorial meningiomas. Because of their location at the base of the skull tentorial meningiomas may be difficult to remove using standard types of surgery. Your doctor will review a number of factors when considering a treatment plan. Here are a few things your doctor might have talked to you about:
- where the tumor is attached
- the direction it is growing
- the tumor's blood supply and how the blood vessels are involved
- your general health
You mentioned in another discussion that you are having stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS). This type of treatment has revolutionized treatment of brain tumors. SRS is less invasive and safer alternative to standard brain surgery (neurosurgery), which requires incisions in the skin, skull, membranes surrounding the brain and brain tissue.
I'm so glad that you are getting care at a center that offers SRS treatment. I believe yesterday was your final treatment. What a great way to end 2017 and ring in the New Year! What are the next steps and follow-up plan?
I will be seeing a Neuro-Oncologist. She will be taking over my care. And my doctor only talk to me about where is was attached to, that was it.
It has been 6 weeks since I had my SRS treatments for my Tentorial Meningioma. And I have no idea if feeling pressure in my eye and forehead if normal. Has anyone had this happen to you?
I have been diagnosed with a 5mm left tentorial leaflet menginoma, I've already got a 6mm frontal menginoma since 2011, I've had no issue that I know of from the 1st one. But a month or 2 before I had this last MRI that found the new tentorial menginoma. My doctor said this is nothing to worry about, but he knows I wake with a headache every morning and the worst part is my eyes burn horrible. Is this part of either or 1 of ylthe menginomas possible?

Mine is 15 mm right anteromedial tentorial meningioma. So is this a bad one?
