Hello,
My name is Tanya Graham, over the past 4 - 5 months I have been experiencing ongoing symptoms which include headaches, dizziness, ringing in my ears, noise sensitivity and changes in my personality. Eight years ago I suffered from benign intracranial hypertension and thought that this might be a re-occurence of this. My specialist did a lumbar puncture which showed levels at 28. He took some fluid off and put me on ridaq. It has been a few more months now and the symptoms have not gone away. Last week I went to see a neurologist and he sent me for a CT Scan (after examining me). My scan report reads as follows:
------------------------------------
Very prominent cisterna magna / superior cerebellar cistern. No associated mass effect. No solid lesion. Normal ventricular morphology. No midline shift above or below the tent. Prominent posterior fossa cisterns.
-------------------------------------
I went back to the neurologist, who said that he thinks the enlarged cistern / cyst like area (in my poor attempt at repeating him) might be the cause of my problems?? (on the scan they show up like a black cloud at the back of an otherwise all clear area)
Please can you comment on that report and advise.
thanks,
Tanya
