Hi .. please my mother has done a meningioma brain surgery and they had to do craniostomy and she's recovering now but she still can't walk without another person's help
I need to know what should we do about the bone that she lost and what can I do to help her walk faster
@farah Hi, Farah. The only thing I can note here is that learning to walk again make be a very slow process. Now, it took her a year or so to learn to walk the first time, and she is much older now so she will not learn as fast. I suspect 2 or 3 years to learn to walk again should be about right. Like me, I have to go the other way. My legs and arms are losing their strength, probably to metabolic syndrome. And I am trying to slow it down as much as possible, so I would be happy to have 3 or 4 years left to enjoy walking.

@farah Hi, Farah, another note about the bone. I broke the bones in and around my pinky toe a couple months ago, and some of the bone disappeared. But sure enough, all the bone has now reappeared, and has welded into place in my toe and the bones of my foot. I also have had some other bones with breaks and etc., around my body. All those bones have reappeared. With me, anyway, the bones do grow back, if slowly, so I take calcium tabs to help the process. However, it is the tendon-type tissue around the joints and bones that is the problem. I tore the tendon sack around my thumb and broke my bones about 62 years ago, and the tendon sack has still not healed.

@farah Hi, again. Welll, I think that is a question for a doctor, but I do know a couple men who have had bones broken in the top of their skull by war, and the bones grew back in both of them. It took a good while, but with a good diet and tender care, they grew the bones back. Sadly, both brains were injured, but the men both survived into their 60s.

Hi guys. I just went to er. Have been having weakness in arms and trouble finding the right words for sentences. My doc seems tobthink it is time to operate on my left shenoid wing meningioma again. Concerned because the sent me home with home care papers for Malignant primary brain tumor. Up until mow they said it was benign. Said I should have surgery as soon as possible. Already had one but it was transphenoidal. Now saying craniotomy. Not really knowing what to expect with that one. Really freaked me out yesteeday when I couldn’t talk right.

I tink it must have been a mistake for at home care papers. Right? They said it didn’t grow much just allot of headaches, shaking,fatigue,heavy arms and now speech.

@cnesselroad, how frightening this must be. It might be an error in the home care papers. Error do happen, which is why it is so important to always get copies of your records, tests etc or access through a patient portal. Did you call your doctor to find out?
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?
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 don't know but aren't the bones around the brain different
I mean can it grow back even if it's in this sensitive place ?

Well thank very much for your time and replies and I really appreciate it.
