Hello
Thanks for writing to HCM
According to reports
There is 15 mm area of encephalomalacia with post surgical changes in mentioned part of brain.
Encephalomalacia is brain degeneration and it is due to surgical excision of ganglion.It is common finding after operation and it won't cause any problem.
So,you don't worry at all.
Get well soon.
