What Causes Squishy Swollen Areas Around The Base Of The Skull After Meningitis?
I had decompression surgery for chiari malformation three weeks ago,, developed chemical mennenginitis and spent two weeks in hospital. Now I m noticing squishy swollen areas around the lower base of my skull. Afraid to have to go to go back to the hospital.

Hi,
I can understand your fear, however, you should go back to the hospital for proper evaluation and treatment. I am sure you would do well. It could be swelling due to blood/infection, both of which can be treated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Sudhir Kumar, Neurologist
