Yes @colleenyoung. I'll be having surgery soon. I started with a wicked headache in March, which I thought was an extra long migraine. Then about 2 1/2 weeks later double vision began. A few days later constant tinnitus and congested type feeling in my head and ears. Since the lesion is symptomatic, the neurotologist has recommended removal. He'll work together with a neurosurgeon to remove it via a craniotomy.
I would love to talk to anyone who has been on this crazy petrous apex lesion journey. Thanks!
