Falcine Meningiomas: A Deeper Understanding
What are Falcine Meningiomas?
Falcine meningiomas are tumors that develop on the membranes (meninges) surrounding the brain and spinal cord. Specifically, they occur along the falx cerebri, a fold-like structure that divides the brain into two halves.
Unique Characteristics and Effects
Falcine meningiomas are known for their unique location, which can lead to specific symptoms such as intermittent dizziness, blurred vision, and gait instability. Due to their proximity to the cerebral aqueduct, they can impair the flow of cerebrospinal fluid, potentially leading to serious complications.
