my father had a crainatomy to remove the abcess formed due to infection. He had seizures once after the surgery.He had mucus secretion and they sent the mucus and abcess samples to lab. He is dull now. It is one week past the surgery, what are the outcomes of this situation.
Hello! Thank you for asking on Chat Doctor! Regarding your concern, I would explain that the mucus and the abscess are related to an infection. That is why, they have made lab tests for these biological materials in order to find out the possible infectious agent and the proper antibiotic therapy. Seizures are related to the inflammation of the brain covering layers and the brain cortex (the most outer layer of the brain), which can cause abnormal electric discharges through the brain cells, leading to seizures. The recovering period may be long, depending on the type of infection and the affected region of the brain. Antiepileptic Chat Doctor.  Physiotherapy may be needed if he has also motor deficits in his limbs, depending on the affected area of his brain. Hope to have clarified some of your uncertainties! Kind regards,
