Would someone know what the parameters are for a small, medium or large AN?




Mine is 2.7 x 2.4 2.4 cm. Thanks

1golfnut:

Your AN would be considered on the large end of 'medium'.

Jim
4.5 cm AN diagnosed 5/06.  Retrosigmoid surgery 6/06.  Follow-up FSR completed 10/06.  Tumor shrinkage & necrosis noted on last MRI.  Life is good. 

Life is not the way it's supposed to be. It's the way it is.  The way we cope with it is what makes the difference.

Mine was 3 cm and was considered a large. You're a big medium.
3cm translab Jan. 2007 performed at Mayo Clinic MN. by Drs. Link and Driscoll. SSD but doing great!
