Endoscopic Endonasal Meningioma Surgery?
Has anyone on this site had Endoscopic Endonasal surgery for a meningioma? I am a candidate for the procedure to treat a small skull-based meningioma that is close to the left optic nerve and carotid artery. I would appreciate your treatment experience.

Vernicek: Two years ago I had a craniotomy to remove a 2.7 centimeter skull-based meningioma that was 1/16th of an inch from my optic nerve. And being in the vicinity of a major artery made the surgery "tricky." I am happy to read you are getting a second opinion. I had my surgery, which was a success with limited side effects, at UCSF. They are rated #2 in the nation for neurosurgery. But, Stanford is also rated well.
