I had a posterior fossa meningioma removed back in 2010. Now after headaches, issues with my words and vision problems, I had a new MRI performed.
It shows new, rounded, extra-axial, enhancing lesion with dural tail adjacent tot he lateral aspect of the left cerebellar hemisphere. Enhancing lesion is 1.5 x 1.6 cm. No significant diffusion restriction. Lesion abuts and probably invades the left transverse sinus. No evidence of venous hemorrhage/infarction. There is an additional smaller similar appearing lesion just adjacent to the other lesion measuring 7 x 4 mm. Prior left retromastoid cranially surgical changes. Minimal encephalomalacia present on the lateral aspect of the left cerebral hemisphere.

Not sure what to think about this. Being referred to a neurosugeon to discuss my "options"
