What Does A Stunned Mullet After The Removal Of Frontal Lobe Meningioma Indicate?

recently I had a large frontal lobe meningioma removed. Apparently it had been there for approx 10yrs. I was depressed and angry for years and still am. My question to you is, After surgery I had what the Neurosurgeon called stunned mullet where for 15minutes I had my eyes open but was unresponsive. Could this have caused any further damage please? Thank-you

"Stunned Mullet" has no meaning in Medical jargon or usage. It is merely a common saying that refers to a person behaving in a dazed or non-comprehending fashion. It could be the result of anything under the sun and after surgery my guess is you were likely recovering from some of the anesthesia or other medications given you for the procedure so I wouldn't make much of that comment nor consider what you exhibited as being significant in terms of contributing to any "further damage" of anything in your brain. If you'd like to shoot me an upload of your MRI REPORT (not the images because there are hundreds) prior to the surgery I'd be happy to comment on any aspect of your problem or concern with respect to the meningioma that was removed. Please write to me and/or upload the report information in PDF format at: www.bit.ly/drdariushsaghafi and rate this encounter 5 Star if you'd be so kind.
