Meningiomas are tumours that arise from the meninges, the protective layers surrounding the brain and spinal cord. Many are slow-growing and non-cancerous, but their impact can vary greatly depending on their size, location and grade.
Some people are monitored with regular scans, while others may need surgery or radiotherapy. Symptoms can also vary widely and may include headaches, seizures, changes in vision, hearing, balance, memory, speech or movement.
