Meningioma treatment in Metepec

A meningioma is a tumor that originates in the meninges, the membranes that cover the brain and the spinal cord. In most cases it is slow-growing and benign in behavior, though its effect depends on its size and location.

How it shows up: many cause no symptoms and are discovered by chance; others can cause headaches, visual changes, weakness, or seizures depending on the area affected.

When to seek care? In the face of persistent headaches that differ from the usual, or new neurological symptoms, a medical evaluation is worthwhile.

Which specialist treats it? A meningioma is usually managed in neurosurgery and, depending on the case, with the support of radiation oncology or radiotherapy. Each situation is different, so individual follow-up with professionals is essential.
