Suggest Treatment For Small Meningioma On Back Of The Head

I have a small meningioma on the upper left quadrant on the back of the head. It has been monitored by MRIs every couple of years. This year the MRI detected some growth. Is it safe to let this go for now or should it be addressed by gamma knife surgery while it is still reasonably small? I have no symptoms at this time and I would not even know what to expect. thank you.

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
You have meningioma and it is increasing in size. According to my opinion you should go for surgery to remove it. Ultimate treatment of choice is surgery and you have to go for surgery in later date so its better to go for it now. Consult your doctor and take treatment accordingly.

Hope I have answered your question, if you have any doubts then contact me at bit.ly/Drsanghvihardik, I will be happy to answer you.
Thanks for using health care magic.
Wish you a very good health.
