Diagnosed with Meningioma: Worried about another seizure

methel: I scrolled back on this string of posts but could not see where you indicated why you had a "scar" on your brain. I only ask b/c I had a craniotomy 16 months ago and am now having, probably totally unrelated to my surgery, what I will call vibrations on the left side of my torso. I do remember immediately after my craniotomy being told to watch for very slight signs of a seizure, so slight as even a finger twitching. I was on seizure meds for a month after the surgery. It would seem reasonable that scar tissue could form after brain surgery and if this could be causing my torso vibrations.

The scar on my brain was either caused directly by the meningioma or by the meningioma when it bled (the stroke) or by the emergency surgery which was necessary to save my life. I believe the surgeon was aggressive in getting all of the tumor. And I was started on anti epileptic med’s immediately. So I wonder, but against the odds (My son was told I had a 1 in 10 chance of having a meaningful life after the surgery), I lived. So I’m grateful for the outcome.
