Spinal fluid pressure and a Pseudo Tumor
by NB Jeff, Sep 16, 2007 09:12AM
My wife was diagnosed with Pseudo tumor in early 1990's and had optic nerve docompression surgery. For the last 10 years she has had a "swishing" in her ear. When it is really going, I can put my ear up to hers and hear it also. She has had several spinal taps to check and release the spinal fluid pressure which is very high. She is currently taking 1200mg of Acetazolamide which lessons the noise. They have mentioned to her about putting in a shunt but she is very reluctant to do this. Any suggestions or direction would be greatly appriciated.
