A member asked:
What does it mean when the brain anatomy has deformed post craniotomy/clipping of an aneurysm? can tearing the dura whilst opening the skull cause a hemorrhage and encephalomalacia? is encephalomalacia permanent brain injury?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Encephalomalcia is permanent and is likely a result of a prior brain hemorrhage from the aneurysm. Depending on the surgical approach, the dura might be penetrated, but this would not cause a hemorrhage or any brain damage and would be expected in some surgical techniques.
