Trust your neurosurg: You should discuss this matter with your neurosurgeon/ ask what he would recommend. As long as he/she is aware of this possibility, this can be easily manged with a shot of Hydrocortisone if any signs of ai appear. It is fairly easy to manage this probelm as long as the doctors are alerted and aware of it. It only hurts when no one is thinking about adrenal insufficiency and the patieint is under.
