Hi doc,
My husband just went for his cranioplasty titanium plate insertion 2 weeks back. The problem now is, there seems to be quite a lot of fluid retention at the right top and front right top portion of his head. It looks worrying. I consulted his neuro but he says he is away and will only be back on the 13th. And yeah, i'll have to wait that long.. His head seems to look like a 'bean' shape now.. Pls advise
Hi,
How are you?
Bulky titanium plates can cause pain, discomfort and thermal sensitivity. Other complications can be inflammation and loosening of the screws.
