Benign Tumors

The most common form of benign brain tumors are meningioma. These types of tumors are more common in women than men and tend to occur in adults in their 60's and 70's.

 

Meningiomas may be the cause for focal seizures, spastic weakness in the legs and other seizure type symptoms. The good news is that doctors can test for meningioma using CT scan and MRI's.

 

Treatment for meningioma brain tumor can include surgical procedures and radiation therapy. Gamma Knife can be effective treatment method when the tumor is inoperable or unresectable. If you think that Gamma Knife surgery may be an option for you, please consult with your Physician to see whether this type of non-invasive surgery may be applicable to your condition.
