I thought of it due to indigestion. it cintinued for about 18 hours. subsequently I developed complications and diagonised with neuro problem and operated for brain tumor. now after a period of about three months I felt the same smell twice at a gap of about 2 weeks. What could be the reason. smell is like have burping after having a very spicy and oily food

Neurologist,  's  Response
It sounds as if you had an olfactory groove meningioma removed several months ago. Do you know if they were successful at removing the whole thing or did they say that there were perhaps, others that needed to come out that they couldn't reach at this point, etc.?

So, now with the return of the symptom it is possible that another meningioma has developed. It wouldn't be unheard of...in fact, it is commonly the case that once a meningioma is removed that others may be grow in the same area. You should return to your neurologist first to get re-examined.

Good luck!
