Bothersome: Without knowing the size or behavior of the meningioma this is tough to answer.If it was growing or causing symptoms surgery was required.Headache beats seizures every time.

Should see doctor!: If the headaches began after the surgery, he should see the neurosurgeon first to make sure there is nothing (like a blood clot) related to the surgery. If not, his neurologist or primary care physician should check him out for other causes of headaches.
