Hi,
On behalf of my wife. ...
When my wife was young she suffered a sever bled which resulted in a large void in her head now filled with 2 large cysts and fluid.
Recently she had been suffering increasingly sever headaches due to high pressure fluctuations.
She is facing the option of having a drain placed between the cysts / void and the spinal area. This is just opening up a hole / path between the 2 areas, not introducing any foreign objects into her head.
My question is has anyone had similar surgery and know of the probable side effects?
I have looked for information on the Web but it is sparse or to technical for us.
She would also have titanium mesh placed to cover a large hole on her skull and I see this has been discussed in length on this forum which has been very helpful.
Thanks heaps in advance.
Cheers Cy
