Any Optic Nerve Meningioma Patients Who've Had Surgery?

Hi. I am recouping from optic nerve meningioma which I had last Wednesday. It was a hard 4 hr surgery. Stayed overnight in neuro ICU. Had a massive headache for a few days but getting better each day. Surgeon was able to get almost all the meningioma except some cells on and too close to the optic nerve. It is an exhausting recovery but each day feeling a bit better. Glad I did this surgery to preserve my eyesight.

My tumors were all in the left frontal lobe so there were no options given. I had a craniotomy and my surgeon was able to removed one skull window piece in order to reach all the tumors from that one area. I recovered for 1 day in icu and one day in step down and was sent home after 48 hours post op. I thought it was a little too fast but I did rest better at home. These neurosurgeons are very skilled and they know best. I did not have any radiation all of my tumors were totally removed and no attached to anything. Ask questions and have your wife listen to her body she knows herself best. Best wishes for great results it's a scary process but she's do well.

Hi. My wife is considering surgery for a meningioma pressing on her left optice nerve. Options provided was to operate through the top of her skull or above her left eyebrow. How was yours performed? How long did you remain in the hospital? Did you or will you need radiation on the tumor remnants? I'd appreciate the information, my wife is scheduled for surgery in a few thank you.
