balance issues with post frontal meningioma surgery

Hello @1myhope. Sorry to hear you are experiencing balance issues following your surgery. It sounds like depending on where your meningioma was located, balance issues could be considered a typical symptom. That said, I wonder if your surgeon prepped you to experience this post-surgery?

I am experiencing balance issues 12 years post surgery. My meningioma was large and low in back in cerebellum. I had no issues after removal. I had a TIA 2 yrs ago and experienced balance issues that have never left unlike the slurring of my speech and handwriting skills quickly came back. I had PT but it did nothing for my balance. The doctors are trying to figure out what is causing the balance problems- whether vestibular or the other causes.

I had menginoma surgery on my left side 4 years ago. I have had balance problems which have actually gotten worse on my left side. Hypothetically it should have affected my right side but none of the many many doctors can explain why. I am at a severe fall risk after a current fall. I now walk with a cane . My current MRIs do not show regrowth of the tumor.
