Had Craniotomy, Meningioma In Falcine Area. Chronic Pain Behind Eye, Acute Sinusitis. On Penicillin, Keppra. Anything Serious?
Thanks for responding, I had a craniotomy 6 weeks ago, meningioma in the falcine area. Chronic pain behind right eye, was just seen by gp and have acute sinusitis. On penicillin as well as Keppra, I feel a lot of pressure on the top of my head and left ear area as the sinus infection is breaking up, is this a dangerous situation, given the recent craniotomy?
