| Description |
Symptoms and signs vary by location, but epilepsy is a common presenting symptom in patients with meningiomas. Of 22 patients with surgically treated meningiomas, 27% suffered from epilepsy. Convexity and parasagittal/falx locations were most common. Tuberculum sella, sphenoid ridge, and olfactory groove locations have been reported. Peritumoral edema was a significant factor regardless of location. Generalized seizures are the most prevalent. |
