Step I meningioma q

[lilmisty]

Do meningiomas that are parasaggital only cause motor symptoms? Or can they also cause sensory symptoms?

I would assume both because "parasaggital" doesn't mean you are only near the motor homonculus....but a question I just did only mentioned motor. They didn't explicitly say "no sensory involvement" but I was just curious?

I agree with you. In theory it could be both depending on location.

Yeah, by definition, meningioma is a neoplasm of the dura, so it could be anywhere on the surface of the brain. Focal signs will help you narrow down the location. Large masses could cause both motor and sensory, but my guy tells me that a lesion big enough to do that would have come to clinical attention sooner.
