My brother has a minute 243617 mm brain tumor and the doctors recommended surgery. We're really worried about the risks can you explain what kind of surgery it might be and how it's done? Also, which hospitals in North India are the best for this operation? We don't know much about the process and could use some guidance.

View allMy sister was just diagnosed with a meningioma and we're really worried. Is surgery the only option or are there other treatments available? What kind of complications could happen after surgery? We're trying to figure out the best way to handle this is there any chance medications could control it instead of going straight to surgery?
Surgery is often the first line of treatment for meningiomas, but it's not always the only option. Other treatments like radiation therapy, observation, and even medication can be considered, depending on the meningioma's size, location, growth rate, and other factors. After surgery, complications can include seizures, vision problems, difficulty speaking, and more.

My dad's MRI shows a diffuse bulge in L23 disc with right paracentral protrusion pressing on the right L3 nerve root, plus a diffuse bulge at L34 causing mild narrowing of the L3 neural foramina. He also has mild generalized arthropathy. He's dealing with constant back pain and leg pain is surgery the only option or can meds help manage this?

Radiation therapy is also useful in treating some benign tumors, including benign meningiomas. Radiation therapy is the first-line treatment for meningiomas that can't be fully removed or when the risk of surgery outweighs the potential benefit.
