Has anyone experienced a small amount of fluid on the brain months after your injury. My balance of it really bad so I went to theER where it was discovered in a cat scan. Not an emergency but they eanme to see a neurologist which might take awhile.possbility they may have insert a shunt which I hear is very routine. Anyone had this??

About 4 months after they discovered a subdural hematoma that resolved itself after a few months they discover fluid (a small subdural hygroma) which is what you may be referring to. Watching it as its small and a baseline. Symptoms for me are headaches, and a high sensitivity to the touch around the injury site and extending to the left side of my face. It feels like a perpetual sunburn.
