A member asked:
I had a craniotomy. for the past several months it feels like the bone flap is eroding what can cause this?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not necessarily: Recommend discussion with your surgeon, as it would be rather unusual for a bone flap to erode. You need to explore why you are experiencing unusual feelings and whether this relates to structural changes at the prior operative site.
