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 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.

Hello,
I had a softball size meningioma brain tumor removed from my right front lobe in 2016. It was discovered by accident at the emergency room, because I was not feeling well.
Since my surgery, I discovered that I have ONA (optic nerve atrophy), my balance is not the same, and I still feel like there is a sensation of slight pressure on the top of my head where the incision is. The only time I do not feel anything is when I am sleeping. I do see an ophthalmologist every six months to monitor my vision, and I get an MRI every two years. My surgery was only four hours due to my rapid loss of blood on the operating table. I received two liters of blood during surgery and one more post-surgery. Once the blood vessels were cut, I started to bleed out as this was an issue that was discussed with me pre-surgery.
Does anyone here have a similar experience?
Thanks for your attention.
