ABCNews is reporting on an interesting story today. It caught my attention because you never read about Meningiomas in the news. This was a young man with headaches that didn’t go away for weeks. Thought you might like to read it. The ultimate condition is quite rare but you never know, perhaps you will learn something that will lead you in a different path.
He had a tiny speck on an MRI that they said was a meningioma but his pain and symptoms were so extreme, he kept looking for an answer. Ultimately, he went to the Mayo Clinic and was diagnosed with a very rare constriction of his skull and spinal cord. Surgery to correct the problem gave him near immediate and complete relief.

Interesting. I don’t know how a radiologist could confuse Chiari for a meningioma though. Thanks for the link!
