Default skull Graft

Hi,

Wonder if anyone has any experience of skull grafts to fix CSF leaks. I had a brain tumour that pushed out part of my skull behind my nose. I was diagnosed with a CSF leak last year and had a skull graft endoscopically up my nose to graft some nasal bone on to the hole which I was told was bigger than a 2p piece. I have had constant problems since with dizziness, nausea and pain around the graft area. Consultant has looked and the wound seems fine, but I get constant pain. Lately it seems to be getting worse rather than better. Anyone else got any experience of this? My brain tumour was benign so no ongoing problems from that, its the skull graft problem that seems to be never ending! Any help and advice appreciated.

Val
