At the time The Brood was developed, Cronenberg fought for custody of his daughter from his first marriage. This was the first film scored by composer Howard Shore. Shore has written the music for all but one of Cronenberg's subsequent films.
A meningioma is a type of tumor that develops from the meninges, the membrane that surrounds the brain and spinal cord. There are three layers of meninges, called the dura mater, arachnoid and pia mater.
A Meningioma is typically small in size, though a small percentage grows to be large. The smaller tumours tend to be benign and may not even produce any symptoms through the course of oneâs lifetime.
