Martine, 56, 1 meningioma, 17 years old from Androcur 1 meningioma operated 2 times

androcur

From September 1996 my gynecologist prescribed me from the Androcur associated with provames and tetracycline to solve my acne problem.

I was 32 years old and a dermatologist told me that there was fewer side effects than with Roaccutane. Treatment that I will take until January 2013.

In December 2012, I had a prominent right eye, following exams (blood test, scanner and background), it turned out that I had a spheno-orbital meningioma . He was withdrawn in March 2013 in Angers. But barely a year after reoffending meningioma. My view drops enormously and my eye and very prominent.

The neurosurgeon who operated on me the first time was very reluctant to reoperate, he told me that I will not recover my sight and that my eye would not resume his place. I decide to consult another neurosurgeon this time at the Rothschild foundation in Paris. It took me in February 2015 successfully, I fully find the sight of my right eye, it frees the optic nerve and my eye practically resumes its place.

It turned out that the first neurosurgeon had closed with bone powder; The new surgeon used a prosthesis to close the skull to avoid any risk of recontamination. Today I'm fine, I am followed by my ophthalmologist every year but I only see my neurosurgeon every five years.
