Title: 1 year post Middle Fossa surgery, doing well
Post by: miriamgail on February 07, 2012, 10:31:26 pm

I was operated 12/15/10 at House Ear Clinic for left AN, had Middle Fossa surgery. My hearing was preserved, and the disabling vertigo, which was my presenting symptom, completely resolved. Over one year later, I have virtually no symptoms, just some fleeting imbalance when overtired, and metallic taste on tongue. Hard to believe that I ever had neurosurgery. I am so grateful to Drs. Fayad and Schwartz at House Ear Clinic.

That is really good to hear.  I will be having middle fossa surgery on Feb 28 at HEI.  Like you I suffer from vertigo constantly.
Glad you are doing well.
