Encephalomalacia, anyone?
Mri results came back that I have stable encephalomalacia in the left frontal lobe. I had a benign tumor removed from my left frontal lobe in 2014. I’ve had checkup MRIs done often since then and have never had encephalomalacia mentioned. I assumed this would begin shortly after a brain surgery, showing on scans.
Has anyone else had brain surgery, then diagnosed with encephalomalacia later on? Has it progressed for you? Your similar experience is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I had brain surgery because of a brain bleed. In about 2015, I was just recently diagnosed with Deep to the craniotomy fairly large area of macrocystic encephalomalacia. With gliosis and siderosis. (Spelling). First I’ve heard of any of it. I’ve had problems with bladder and bowel which I read one or more of these have that symptom. I also found out I had another stroke, that I knew nothing about. One is rare only one out of a million people get it. Why couldn’t I have been one out of a million people that won the lottery instead. But yes it took a while to find out about all these other problems that I can’t say or spell. I do have some symptoms waiting to see the neurologist to see if it’s really bad or not. I take 28 pills a day now hope they don’t give me more. Take care and good luck, or better yet God bless.
