Section 8: Recurrent Anaplastic Meningioma Tumor

Every six months since my surgery in 2009, I have had to undergo an MRI to see any changes in my tumors.

January 3, 2014 I suddenly have a Recurrent Anaplastic Meningioma Tumor.

Findings from 1/3/2014 MR

  1. Mass now extends midline best seen on coronal post contrast 26.
    • Transverse, caudocranial and AP dimensions
    • Now measures 3.0 x 1.6 x 3.5 cm versus 1.8 x 0.7 x 1.4 cm
  2. There is mass effect upon the parenchyma predominantly left-sided
