1.5 cm calcified Parafalcine meningioma

Posted by bailey0611 @bailey0611, Sep 12, 2024

My CT scan recently showed the above. I am waiting for a MRI. I’m 63. I’m losing sleep. MD doesn’t think it will require surgery and indicated it was calcified which said means slow growing, if at all. Is this considered a small tumor? The radiologist called it a calcified lesion. I have no symptoms. Any information would be appreciated prior to my upcoming appointment.

Hi, I came across your post and wanted to know about your second scan. Mine is in the same location and am “watchful waiting” until September.

I am doing ok. I went to three neurosurgeons, including Mayo. The consensus was leave it alone. They found a scan I had in 2017 for something else which showed it then and was not reported. It has not grown in 8 years. It’s very calcified. Because of that scan I don’t need a scan again for 3 years.
