Meningeal metastasis symptoms

Symptoms of meningeal metastasis include headache, vomiting, neck stiffness, mental symptoms, seizures, limb weakness, etc. Headache Headache is one of the common symptoms of meningeal metastasis, which is caused by inflammation and increased intracranial pressure caused by tumor cells invading the meningeal membrane. This headache is usually severe and persistent. 2. Vomiting is often accompanied by headaches, which is also a manifestation of elevated intracranial pressure. 3. Neck stiffness Neck stiffness reflects meningeal irritation and is a protective reaction after meningeal irritation. 4. Mental symptoms Mental symptoms such as cognitive disorders, mood changes, etc. may occur because tumors affect the normal function of the brain. 5. Seizures Seizures can be caused by meningeal metastasis stimulating the cerebral cortex, and seizures take various forms. 6. Limb weakness may be caused by tumor invasion of the corresponding motor nerve pathway, resulting in limited limb movement. It should be noted that these symptoms may occur independently or simultaneously, and individual differences are large. For patients with a history of malignant tumors, once the above suspicious symptoms appear, we should be highly alert to the possibility of meningeal metastasis, and timely conduct relevant examinations, such as head magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), for early diagnosis and treatment. Early detection and treatment are of great significance for improving the prognosis of patients.
