Is Thickening Of Cover Of Brain A Cause For Concern?
I had a CT scan of my brain yesterday secondary to some dizziness that has been occuring for a month or so. My MD called and said I need to have an MRI in 6 months as a follow-up to thickening of the cover of my brain . I heard her say meningioma but she assured me I did not have a brain tumor but was referring to the meninges covering the brain. She assured me I was OK but I am still concerned. Should I be?

Hello and welcome to Ask a Doctor service. I have read your query. Thickened brain coverings ( meninges ) may indicate inflammation. Meningioma is easily assessed with imaging, so, I don t think it s your case. Don t worry much more than necessary, follow up with your Doctor. Hope this helps.
