My surgeons were Drs. Gardner and Hirsh (neurotologist).  Dr. Gardner never mentioned EEA as a treatment option for me.  I'll be interested to hear what he tells you.  Maybe they've decided to start trying this approach on AN patients.  Try doing a search on his forum to see if any other patients went this route.

I did find this statement:  "Our team has pioneered and refined minimally invasive brain surgery techniques, including the Endoscopic Endonasal Approach for tumors and lesions in the skull base and upper spine,..."

Sounds promising.  See if you can find out how many of these they have done.  I would not want to be one of the first 100 or so.
