🧠💉 Depo-Provera Linked to Meningioma Risk: What Clinicians and Patients Need to Know (JAMA Neurology, Sept 2025)

A U.S. study in JAMA Neurology (Xiao et al., 2025) uncovers a link between Depot Medroxyprogesterone Acetate (DMPA, Depo-Provera) and meningioma risk, guiding clinical practice and patient counseling.

🔍 Study Overview

- Design: Retrospective cohort study of 61 million women (TriNetX database).

- Goal: Assess meningioma risk with DMPA and other contraceptives.

- Outcome: Meningioma diagnosis.

📊 Key Findings

👉 DMPA: Relative Risk (RR) = 2.43 (95% CI, 1.77–3.33); Number Needed to Harm (NNH) = 1152.

👉Highest Risk in:

🩵 Women using DMPA for >4 years.

🩵Women starting DMPA after age 31

👉💊 Oral MPA: RR = 1.18 (95% CI, 1.10–1.27); NNH = 3020.

Other Contraceptives: No risk increase for Combined Oral Contraceptives, Levonorgestrel IUDs, Progestin-Only Pills, or Subdermal Implants.

🌍 Context

👉Aligns with European studies (2018–2023) showing 2–7× meningioma risk with high-dose progestins, with tumor regression possible after discontinuation.

👉 Europe’s response included warnings and lawsuits, signaling U.S. medico-legal risks.

🩺 Clinical Takeaways

1. 🗣️ Counsel Clearly: DMPA doubles meningioma risk (1 extra case per ~1150 women). Highlight low absolute risk.

2. 🧑‍⚕️ Personalize Care: Reconsider long-term DMPA (>4 years) in women over 30 or with meningioma history, NF2, or cranial irradiation.

3. 🔄 Safer Options: Suggest LNG-IUD, progestin implants, or COCPs, which show no meningioma risk.

4. 👀 Stay Alert: Investigate neurological symptoms (e.g., headaches, vision changes) with exams or MRI; consider stopping DMPA if meningioma is found.

⚖️ Medico-Legal Note

France’s lawsuits against progestin manufacturers stress documenting informed consent. U.S. providers should discuss risks and alternatives to reduce liability.

🎯 Bottom Line

👉DMPA’s meningioma risk is small but notable for long-term users or those over 30.

👉Counsel precisely, screen high-risk patients, offer alternatives, and document discussions.

👉DMPA remains valuable with informed choices.

ሃይድሮሴፋለስ | Hydrocephalus

ሃይድሮሴፋለስ (በአማርኛ አቻ ትርጉም አላገኘሁለትም): የአንጎል አና ህብለሰረሰር ፈሳሽ ኡደት መዛባት ተከትሎ የሚመጣ የፈሳሽ መከማቸት ሲሆን ይህም በአንጎል ላይ ግፊት አና ጫና በማምጣት በዙዎችን ለሞት የዳረገ ህመም ነው::

በህፃናት አና በ አዋቂዎች አመጣጡ አና የሚያሳየው ባህሪ ይለያያል:: የህፃናት የራስ ቅል በቶሎ ስለማይገጥም ግፊቱ ሲጨምር በማደግ ትልቅ ጭንቅላት ይኖራቸዋል::

የፈሳሹ መከማቸት አንጎሉን ከራስ ቅል ጋር ስለሚጫነው አድገታቸው ዘገምተኛ ይሆናል:: ይህም ማለት ራሳቸዉን ችለው መቀመጥ በሚገባቸው ሰዓት ያንን ማድረግ ያዳግታቸዋል:: መናገር የሚገባቸዉን ያክል መናገር ይቸገራሉ:: ቀስበቀስ እይታቸው ሊጠፋ ይችላል:: አለፍ ሲል ደግሞ ለሞት ይዳርጋል ::

የራስ ቅል ከገጠመ በሁዋላ (በመሃል አናት ትር ትር የሚለው ሲጠፋ) የፈሳሹ ግፊት በቶሎ ስለሚጨምር በጣም ድንገተኛ እና ካልታከመ ለሞት ይዳርጋል::

በአብዛኛው በህፃናት የሚከሰትበት ምክንያት በተፈጥሮ ሲሆን ተያያዥ የነርቭ ዘንግ ከፍተት ችግር ሊኖራቸው ይችላል:: የጨቅላ ሕፃን እንፈክሽን ተከትሎ ሊመጣ ይችላል:: ሌላኛው አና በቶሎ መታከም የሚገባው የህፃናት አንጎል እጥኢ(Brain tumor) ተከትሎ የሚመጣ ሲሆን ነው::

ሕክምናዉም የ ፈሳሹን መስመር ማስተካከል ሲሆን

1: በቱቦ (shunt catheter )ከ አንጎል ወደ ሆድ (Peritoneal space)ወይም ወደ ሌላ ክፍል (pleura or atrium) እንዲፈስ ይደረጋል:: ቱቦው ከቆዳ ስር የሚያልፍ ሲሆን በዙዉን ጊዜ አድሜ ሙሉ የሚቆይ ነው::

2: በ ኢንዶስኮፕ (Endoscopic ventriculostomy) የፈሳሹን መስመር መክፈት

3: መስመሩን የዘጋዉን ዕጢ በ ቀዶ ጥገና ማስወገድ

4: ግዜያዊ ማስተገሻ መድኃኒቶችን መጠቀም

5: አንዳንዴ ፈሳሹ ወደ ዉጭ በተዘጋጀለት ማጠራቀሚያ እንዲፈስ ማድረግ እና ሌሎችም::

ይህ መታከም የሚቺል ችግር የብዙዎችን ሕይወት እየቀጠፈ እና የአእምሮ አድገት ዘገም አንዲል ያደርጋል:: ሁላችንም ይመለከታልና የበኩላችን እንወጣ::
