    Meningiomas are brain tumors that originate from meningioma cells in the meninges. They are caused by errors in DNA replication due to mutagen exposure like radiation or carcinogens, which lead to acquired cell mutations and uncontrolled cell division. Meningiomas can cause headaches and seizures by irritating the brain, increasing intracranial pressure, and disrupting blood supply as the tumor grows and occupies space in the brain.
