I’m sorry you are dealing with this. Sounds very miserable. And hopefully they will get that under control soon.
I’ve never had that but I have what the CT report says is a post op seroma. Does anyone know what exactly that is? Is it a pseudo? Can’t find much info on it
Seroma. A seroma is a pocket of clear serous fluid that sometimes develops in the body after surgery. .
Pseudomeningocele is an extradural cerebrospinal fluid collection arising from a dural defect, that may be congenital, traumatic, or more commonly as a result of postoperative complication.
I know they sound like they could be the same thing, but the fluids are different..in a pseudo it is CSF fluid in a seroma it is serous fluid same as you would find in a blister.

Thank you Selma for that info. It was my CT report and it said fluid density collection in the overlying soft tissues is nonspecific but likely a post op seroma. And I couldn’t get much clarification
