Neural tissue of the CNS is unable to replace itself through mitosis and regeneration. Because of this, the neural tissue is very vulnerable to damage from the pressure of adjacent expanding tumors. This tumor pressure on the normal tissue results in death of the neurons and often tragic disability to the patient. A meningioma is a tumor that arises from cells within one of the meningeal layers surrounding the brain and spinal cord. Explain the possible symptoms that a meningioma arising from the pia mater at the central sulcus might cause.
