How long does it take for the frontal lobe of the brain to heal after it has

been repaired from a csf leak. The Doctor said that he is going to go in the

front of my nose. TMI CHILDREN MAY READ.

They are not going to touch the frontal lobe, never fear. I had surgery via my nose (my left nostril in fact!) for my pituitary. There are a couple of people in the brain/pituitary area with CSF leaks as they happen. I leaked for a while after surgery. Your doc should be going in via the nose - no scars - and patch you up there. Has lying flat or coffee or anything helped?

Hi
Welcome to the MedHelp forum!
It is difficult to predict how soon a frontal lobe injury will take to heal. This lobe is associated with mood and memory. Thus any damage to this lobe can lead to long term memory loss, mood swings, talking too much, and energy bursts leading to over activity. Long term complication is chance of schizophrenia. If you notice any such symptoms, report to the doctor immediately. Take care!
