Hello,
Local anesthesia usually does not cause adverse effects, or if so, these are very short (a few hours after it). Since you had previous head and brain trauma, you should be seen again by a Neurologist. In some cases, delayed subdural hematoma may occur.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
