Overview
The hallmark symptom of meningioma is morning headache. Other common symptoms of meningioma include weakness, focal neurological deficit, and confusion. However, the specific clinical presentation of meningioma is determined by the exact anatomical location of the tumor.[1][2][3]
History
- When evaluating a patient for meningioma, you should take a detailed history of the presenting symptom (duration, onset, progression), other associated symptoms, and a thorough past medical history review. Other specific areas of focus when obtaining the history are:[4][5]
- Review any excessive cell phone use
- Review any exposure to head radiation therapy or dental X-ray
- Review any history of head trauma
