:confused: My husband had surgery to remove a pituitary brain tumor Jan. 17, 2002. They cut him from mid forhead over the right eye, to right in front of his lower ear lobe. He has a small titanium plate holding the piece of skull back in place. One of his problems is he has pain in one certain spot on the scar. If he touches it like when combing his hair it is painful. A couple of weeks ago he and my son were play wrestling on the floor. My husband turned quickly and my son accidently elbowed him right were the scar is. It knocked my husband out for a good 3-5 minutes. Also his right eyelid has begun to droop drastically to the point that he is having problems with his eyesight. I don't know if the droopyness has anything to do with it or not. His endocrinologist is sending him this Friday to a Neur-Opthomologist. If there is anyone out there that has ever heard of these things happening after a craniotomy, or have experienced them themselves please reply to my question.
Thanks Trina:confused:

Hi, I had a craniotomy in March of this year due to a large angioma on the left side of my skull. They removed it and replaced it w/ titanium mesh. It is very sensitive where the mesh is at. I hit it one time and I had weird symptoms for days. I would defenitly get it checked out as soon as possible. And make sure your doctor takes this seriosly. Take care and god bless.
