@isab1980 @arb29 I was diagnosed with an meningioma and a superior posterior clivus last May. I had excision through the sphenoid sinus approach. They told me they could get 75% and the rest would have to be treated with radiation. This was because it was pressing against the carotid arteries as well as the optic and my pituitary gland. He stated as too risky to try to remove the tumor wrapped around the internal carotid arteries so he left a cuff of tumor around them.On my follow up postop exam, the surgeon said he was able to remove 95%. My surgery was nine hours long and I was in the hospital overnight three nights. I had double vision for a month. Just stay positive. be patient with yourself after surgery as it takes a while to get back to normal self. You guys are going to be fine. You’ve got this!
