What Causes Edema After A Brain Surgery?
I had a meningioma removed 6 months ago by brain surgery. I am swelling now everyday and the Doctor that did it is saying that either I can have an infection or an allergic reaction to the cement and they may have to cut me back open. He put me on 4mg steroids for two weeks. I was reading my report and it in the Diagnoses stated benign neoplasma of meninges, unspecified (D32.9) and Edema, unspecified (R60.9), what does this mean?

Hello,
This is a pathology report and it says the character of the tumor. It is benign tumor means it is non-cancerous and less aggressive.
Consult a neurosurgeon and he will direct you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
