Does craniotomy affect intelligence?

Craniotomy can affect intelligence, but it is important to clarify exactly what form of craniotomy it is. Because there are many kinds of craniotomy, each disease may affect the pattern of intelligence before the surgery, so it is not necessarily a problem of surgery. There are also some relatively serious diseases that may affect intelligence regardless of whether or not craniotomy is performed, so it is most important to clarify the development of one’s condition. After the surgery, intelligence may be affected, but there are some ways to improve it, such as oral medication, the most common is Donepezil, which can effectively improve cognitive function, and active rehabilitation exercises, which can also restore a certain level of intelligence at a later stage, but the most important thing is to clarify the main condition of their own, only Only then can there be a corresponding prediction after the surgery whether it seriously affects the intelligence.
