Has anyone ever suffered a stroke after brain surgery?

A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭
Mirfield, UK

My surgeon has told me that it is likely I could have a stroke after brain surgery, has anyone had one and been ok? (Please no horror stories because I am already petrified)

I've had many brain hemmorhages. The lasting affect has been with pain in my right leg. If the Dr believes the benefits outweigh the possiblilty of a stroke, get extra opinions from other Dr's and make a pro/con list. The final decision is yours.
