What is a meningioma brain tumor and can it be fatal?
Meningiomas are typically benign brain tumors. They are located in the dura or lining of the brain. On rare occasion they go into the bone. Benign does not mean without deficits or problems however. They are determined on a grading system class 1, 2 or 3...benign, atypical or malignant. Atypical meningioma has a higher chance of recurrence and malignant which are much rarer are cancerous. In answer to you question, most people have them removed and go on to live normal lives. I have had 2 removed...2 surgeries. I am very lucky. I do know of others who have had their lives changed totally and a few who have not made it. This is totally extreme but can happen. You must keep in mind that with any surgery fatality can be an issue.

The top of my first two toes on my right foot are numb. I have a left frontal lobe meningioma. Would there be a connection between the two?
Yes, this is almost certainly connected. The area of the brain that controls the movement of your right foot is in the left frontal lobe and the area of the brain for sensory perception in that foot is right posterior to it. If your meningioma is compressing the area for sensation, it can decrease or inhibit that part of the brain's ability to interpret signals coming from your foot.
