Hi, I have a very similar story except it’s my left optic nerve. What did you decide as your treatment plan. I am really not a fan of the craniotomy which seems to be the choice provided by the neurosurgeon

I had one partially wrapped around my left optic nerve, pressing into my pituitary gland moving it to the side, and up against my carotid arteries. The first neurosurgeon said open craniotomy and very elusive when I asked how many he’s done in this area. The next two both said go through your nose and sinus and both had done well over 100 in that year. It’s all they do. I went with removal through my nose.
