Gliosis of the Brain

by Jemarie71, Oct 09, 2007 10:19PM
I was recently told by MRI results that I have gliosis of the right parietal lobe white matter.  Also, a prominent perivascular space.  I have been suffering for a little over 2 years with horrible head pain in this same location. My neuro is not telling me what gliosis is, nor is he helping me get back on my feet.  I have since seen 2 other neurologists that don't do anything about it either. If fact they told me there is nothing they could do for gliosis, so they ignore my pleading for help and any pain treatment because they said "the brain has no pain", but I do.  I have a horrific burning and pressure sensation in the area of my head.  With it tingling sometimes, and the tingling actually makes me want to pass out.  I need to know exactly what does gliosis do, cause, or is from?? Is there any kind of treatment or another specialist to see? What test check for brain cancer if it isn't the tumor type? Thank you.

Glial cells are not neurones.  They are the 'glue' that holds the brain
together.  Damage to glial cells may come from head injury, trauma, or
infarction. This should not much affect your cognitive functioning and your doctors are right, it will not cause pain.  The damage detected in MRI would not be the cause of your pain and unrelated.  Suggest you see a Sacral-Cranial Osteopath for relief of your symptoms which more likely related to peripheral nerve causation or cranial malaligment.
