  • From Dr. Phil Stieg, neurosurgeon-in-chief of NewYork-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medical Center and chair of Weill Cornell Medicine Neurosurgery, this webinar series explores common and not-so-common conditions of the brain. In clear, understandable language, Dr. Stieg gives the answers to the four questions every patient must ask about their diagnosis (what do I have? what does it mean to have it? what do I do about it? what are the risks?)

    I've had 4 meningiomas over the past 21 years. I have a wonderful neurosurgeon who has been able to excise every one of them.

    I have two one pushing the cerebellum across . Next to the spinal. The other higher up look substantially bigger than the ones shown here. My , sight ,swallowing, balance and breathing are all affected. I have seizures and memory loss. Have been told about the risks. No life if it's not operated on. But so many risks with the bigger scull based tumor. Due to spinal chord involvement. Either way the outlook is going to be a huge challenge. Awaiting a surgery date. Can't wait to start rehabilitation if I make it. My executive functions are not affected. Still studying despite the pain and eye sight problems.

    My wife has a WHO 2 in the sphenoid wing, she is blind in one eye and other than that she lives a full life. It has grown to 6.5cm and so she has to go under the knife and then radiation on the 30/12/2022. This is worse than anything I've faced in my life as I feel powerless to this but do the best I can to keep my wife happy and comfortable.

    Thank you for this information. My 19yo daughter has an M in left temporal-occipital which is causing seizures. Attempted resection was not successful due to mass effect and risk as vein of labbe runs thru the middle of tumor. She went on to have radiation but still struggles with seizures and other issues. Will there ever be a medication that can be given internally (immuno therapy, anti neoplastin etc) to shrink these hard to resect tumors? How close are we to something like this?

    I go for my MRI this week. Left side weakness. So I don't know. My meningioma is near mid line, I believe favoring the left side. It grew a small amount every year, but this is my 4th year mri so I'm praying 🙏 it didn't get much bigger. And maybe unrelated but I'm so tired all the time.
