Hi, from Ottawa. first off I have a 4 cm bone tumor of superorbital local. However my vision is not yet affected. My neurologist suggests that there is very unlikely a chance that it causes my symptoms, which are: never ending generalized headache behind forehead; widespread tense feeling of the muscles in the forehead, and eyes. Also, I have trouble such as at supermarket checkout line, focusing on complex tasks such as using credit card, (multi-tasks) becomes quite confusing. Another example is, being in some situations where the unexpected fright occurs...becomes difficult to concentrate beyond ho-hum relaxed state of mind.
And please try to understand this, I feel this is a major help to understand my symptoms-- although difficult to explain, you may think I'm foolish but please try to see---Previously, I can send a form of 'energy' through my abdomen, pelvic area, and the same through my head, after which my face turns very red and flush, however now that headache has set in permanently, I can no longer effect this "electric" sensation in my head, only lower pelvic area. Does this description match any knowledge you hold? at all? What is the effect this is caused by?
Now, upon my insistance, nuerosurgery has agreed to see me for this tumor but has required CT angio prior to appoint, even though MR angio has been perform some 9 months ago. Please tell me 1) is CT angio necessary and safe, and 2) base on my description do you think this superorbit tumor possibly sound to effect my symptoms that I describe detailed above? Thank you, Jean/30/male
