менингиома
Also known as intracranial meningioma, meningothelial cell tumor, neoplasm of the meninges, supratentorial meningioma, meningioma by site, Meningeal Tumor, Tumor of Meninges, Tumor of the Meninges
Meningioma, also known as meningeal tumor, is typically a slow-growing tumor that forms from the meninges, the membranous layers surrounding the brain and spinal cord. Symptoms depend on the location and occur as a result of the tumor pressing on nearby tissue. Many cases never produce symptoms. Occasionally seizures, dementia, trouble talking, vision problems, one sided weakness, or loss of bladder control may occur.

Менингиома (арахноидэндотелиома) — опухоль, растущая из клеток паутинной мозговой оболочки, а именно арахноидального эндотелия — ткани, окружающей мозг. Вопреки распространённому убеждению не является опухолью твердой мозговой оболочки. Сам термин и анатомическая классификация, используемые и ныне, введены американским нейрохирургом Кушингом в 1922 году.
