An accidental detection of a meningitis. Are you going to operate with or without symptoms?

Meningoma is mostly benign and is the second most common brain tumor in brain surgery, second only to cerebrogeloma. In general, the vast majority of meningitis is a benign tumor that can be cured, and from that point of view it is not terrible.

Brain tumors grow on the brain, from the inside to the brain, except for what we see in the eye, the perceptible hair, the skin, the skull, the brain. Our brain is divided into three layers: a dural, a spider membrane, a soft membrane. Membrane is mainly on the spider membrane (second membrane).

The common symptoms are increased intracranial pressure, headaches, dizziness and functional disorders, a significant proportion of patients suffering from brain tumors, and low performance from tumours, such as loss of vision, which is not noticed. Or, although the symptoms are more severe, the patient does not go to the clinic and takes any medication, delaying treatment and tumours.

The size of brain tumours is highly correlated with the prognosis. The tumours are small, have little influence on the surrounding structures, are easily fully excised and have a high cure rate. On the other hand, all-round opportunities are low and poor. As a result, similar symptoms of brain tumours should be treated early.

What are you going to do with this?

Meningococcal cancers are largely non-surgery-friendly and, in principle, can be treated at an early stage, with less difficulty and risk.

An accidental detection of a meningitis. Are you going to operate with or without symptoms?

As people become more aware of their health, tests such as nucleo-magnetics, CTs, etc. have become widely available, either as a medical examination or as a result of other diseases when the head nuclei are applied, the brain tumor is accidentally detected, but in practice the patient has no symptoms at all.

An accidental discovery of a meningitis, then, requires an immediate surgery, based on the size, location, growth rate of the brain tumor, and whether the brain oedema is combined, and whether there are symptoms such as dizziness or headaches. Meningococcal tumors are detected by accident, and the vast majority of patients are subject to surgery sooner or later.

What are the symptoms of meningitis that mean surgery?

As long as meningitis causes symptoms, surgery is required as soon as possible. Symptoms are very numerous, depending on the location and size of the tumor. Some, for example, have large tumours, which can lead to an increase in the internal pressure of the brain and to high levels of the inside of the skull, such as headaches, nausea and vomiting. But, usually, cerebral tumors cause problems of internal pressure, indicating that they are already very serious.

Meningos can also cause epilepsy, which is known as “sheep epilepsy”, and sudden convulsions in the limbs, loss of consciousness, spitting on the mouth and incontinence in the urine.

Director Zhao Tian Ji-ji, Cerebral Centre, Tangdu Hospital, gave a presentation on the treatment of meningitis, which was mainly surgically removed. In principle, it should aim at the complete removal of the tumour-infested brain and bone, with a view to rooting out. Meningococcal tumors are mostly benign and, if diagnosed at an early stage, they should be able to operate before the tumors have been treated for damage to the surrounding brain tissues and vital skull neurons and blood vessels. However, some late-stage tumours, in particular deep meningitis, are huge, are bound up with the nerve, vascular, brain stem and lower parts of the hypothalamus, or are not easily separated from them. In such cases, it is not possible to perform hysterectomy, which can be reluctant to aggravate brain and skull neurological damage and the risk of haemorrhaging in the operation, or even cause death or severe disability. The surgical principles of meningitis are to control hemorrhage, to protect brain function and to seek total removal. For patients who cannot be fully excised, tumours can be fully removed or divided to avoid severe disability or death.
