1mm to 9mm Meningioma - 2 Partial Focal Seizures 2 Weeks Apart
I was diagnosed with a 1mm meningioma at the left cerebellopontine angle 2 years ago and put on watch & wait. I kind of ignored it, then last December, started getting really bad vertigo, headaches, and blurry vision, but doctors couldn’t find any reason for it. Two weeks ago I had a partial focal seizure and the ER discovered the meningioma had grown to 9mm. Today, after my first neurosurgeon appointment ironically, I had another partial focal seizure.
Wondering if now I should prepare myself for surgery, or is the tumor still a little small for surgical removal? These seizures are freaking me out and disturbing my life - I’m forgetting words and can’t talk sometimes. The vertigo, blurry vision, and headaches are so bad that I’m really struggling during the day.
