I have had AN for the last 17years mine is small and hasn’t grown much, I’m do for a MRI on the 24th at Addenbrookes, I normally have one every two years just to check if it has grown. The AN doesn’t bother me much if it wasn’t for the tinnitus I wouldn’t know it was there, I have many health issues which affects my life more. When I first had it I was told it is a rare condition but it was still a shock but it’s a part of me now.

Hi, I was diagnosed with a 9mm intracanicular AN back in February 2017. It was a massive shock at first. I had another mri in February 18 and fortunately it hadn't grown. I have an mri scheduled for two years time. I have tinnitus and some high sensory hearing loss. Hope this helps.

Thanks for the reply, I think mine is small and it hasn’t moved much in the last 17years, if it did grow i am going to have it shot at because of my other disabilities it would be tricky op.
