Symptoms of convexity meningioma

The brain is one of the most important organs in our body, so we must protect it in our daily lives. However, as the pace of life in modern society becomes faster and faster and personal bad habits become increasingly prominent, some people have health risks in their brains, the most common of which is tumors. Well, now let the brain experts introduce to you what is the convexity meningioma of the brain and what are the convexity meningiomas of the brain?

What is convexity meningioma? I believe many people don’t know. Well, now we will mainly introduce the symptoms of convexity meningioma to help everyone understand that convexity meningioma is a serious disease, and remind everyone to pay attention to the prevention of convexity meningioma.

Convexity meningioma refers to meningioma on the lateral surface of the cerebral hemisphere, mainly including meningiomas in the frontal, parietal, occipital, and temporal lobes of the cerebral hemisphere and meningiomas in the lateral fissure. There is normal brain tissue between the tumor and the sagittal sinus. Clinically, it may only manifest as epileptic symptoms and is easily overlooked.

The history of convexity meningioma of the brain is generally long, which varies depending on the location of the tumor, mainly including the following aspects:

1. Symptoms of increased intracranial pressure occur in 80% of patients. Since the tumor grows slowly, symptoms of intracranial hypertension generally appear later. If the tumor is located in the "non-functional area" of the brain, such as the frontal pole, the patient may only have intermittent headaches for a long time. The headaches are mostly located in the forehead and orbital areas and are progressively aggravated, followed by nausea, vomiting and optic disc edema, and may also be followed by optic atrophy.

2. Convexity meningiomas in the frontal, parietal and central sulcus areas of epilepsy can cause focal epilepsy, or transform focal epilepsy into a generalized epileptic seizure. Epilepsy attacks often occur in the early and middle stages of the disease, and most patients have epilepsy as the first symptom.

3. Motor and sensory disorders are more common in the middle and late stages of the disease. As the tumor continues to grow, patients often experience numbness and weakness in the contralateral limbs, which are often more severe in the upper limbs than in the lower limbs. Central facial paralysis is more obvious. Convexity meningiomas of the temporal lobe may cause central paralysis mainly in the upper limbs. Patients with tumors in the dominant hemisphere also have motor and sensory aphasia. Tumors located in the occipital lobe may have homonymous hemianopsia.

4. Bony masses on the head Because the tumor is located superficially and easily invades the skull, patients often have bone masses on their heads, accompanied by dilation of scalp blood vessels.

Convexity meningiomas of the brain can usually be completely removed surgically with good results. The dura mater attached to the tumor and the invaded skull should also be removed to prevent recurrence.

What foods should not be eaten for convexity meningioma?

(1) Avoid stimulant drinks such as coffee and cocoa.

(2) Avoid spicy foods, such as onions, garlic, leeks, peppers, chili peppers, cinnamon, etc.

(3) Avoid moldy or burnt foods, such as moldy peanuts, moldy soybeans, and burnt fish.

(4) Avoid greasy, cured fish and meat, fried, and smoked foods.

(5) Avoid eating too salty foods.

(6) Avoid smoking and drinking.

Convexity meningioma is an invisible disease, so we can only detect the disease earlier by understanding the symptoms of convexity meningioma. If you have already suffered from convexity meningioma of the brain, you should not be negative and should insist on effective treatment. At the same time, we must also remember some foods that we cannot eat on a normal basis.
