There is a young boy, Junior in high school and family friend, that is going through something similar at St. Louis Children's Hospital. The tumor involving his pituitary gland was more serious. After surgery, half his head, including face was swollen and he was very ill. They checked for infection and drained fluid, but claimed it was under the hair cap? Now they are planning to put a shunt in at the site.

In 2008 at SSM Health St. Joseph Hospital in Lake St. Louis, MO, I never had any of this after my brain surgery to remove a rather large meningioma that was pressing on my right brain.
