What Does My CT Scan Report Indicate?
HI, i suffer from headaches, in 2014 I had a CT BRAIN, it shows that I have a CALCIFIED TENTORIAL MENINGIOMA on the left side, the hospital didn t tell me that, in 2016 I had a CT BRAIN because of a car accident, thats how I found it out. My doctor here said not to worry about it, I think that this is the cause of my headaches, which never goes away. I am going to see a Neurologist next month.What do you think? Sincerely, Thank you

Meningioma is a benign tumor that grows slowly. Since it causes mass effect (compression on brain tissues), it may result in neurological complaints and requires surgical removal.
The decision of the operation depends upon it's size, location and accessibility. This is best discussed with a specialized neurosurgeon.
MRI with contrast is required for better assessment of the meningioma and it's exact location, size and relation to the brain.
