- Meningiomas are often considered the most common tumors of the central nervous system (CNS); however, they actually arise from the meninges (dura, arachnoid, and pia), which are not strictly speaking part of the CNS per se.
- They arise from arachnoid cells closely associated with the dura mater; therefore, these tumors may involve the dura mater or the dural arches (falx cerebri and tentorium cerebelli).
- Meningiomas are mostly slow-growing benign tumors.
- Symptoms depend on the location of the tumor and its growth rate.
- Symptoms include seizures, personality changes, changes in vision, hearing, or smell, and symptoms related to increased intracranial pressure.
- Meningiomas are often asymptomatic.
- Treatment includes observation, surgery, or radiation, depending on the clinical context and tumor morphology.
