Neoplasm of uncertain or unknown behaviour: cerebral meninges - what does this mean
Neoplasm of uncertain or unknown behaviour of the cerebral meninges occurs when abnormal cells form in the layers of tissue that surround the brain and spinal cord. these abnormal cells can grow and divide rapidly, leading to the development of a mass or tumour. the behaviour of the tumour is uncertain or unknown, meaning it may be benign or malignant.
What happens during the disease - neoplasm of uncertain or unknown behaviour: cerebral meninges
Neoplasm of uncertain or unknown behaviour of the cerebral meninges is a condition in which abnormal cells form in the meninges, the protective layers surrounding the brain and spinal cord. these cells can grow and spread to other parts of the body, leading to a variety of symptoms depending on the size and location of the neoplasm. possible symptoms include headaches, seizures, changes in behavior, and vision problems. treatment options vary depending on the type and size of the neoplasm, but may include surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy.
